Battle rope conditioning is a great form of cardio that doesn’t get boring, and keeps your workout exciting! Keep reading to learn how to set up the battle ropes, as well as how to perform three simple yet effective workouts.

Setting up

During these workouts you will be using both ends of the rope, so you will need to wrap or loop the midpoint of the rope around a stationary object, such as a pole or a handle of a very heavy kettlebell or dumbbell (when you start moving the rope vigorously, you don’t want the “anchor” moving with it).

The average thickness of the rope should be 1 and a half inches, but you can go up to 2 inches if you want to challenge your grip strength even further (the thicker the rope, the tougher it is to grip). You want the length of the rope to be 50 feet to 60 feet; anything shorter than this will cause the waves of the rope to not travel as far as they should, which in turn will interrupt your movement.

Start each workout standing in a square stance, feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. You should be in a half squat stance. Stick your butt out a little and keep your back straight. You’re now ready to start your routine!
