'We are with Lester Hernandez, Director of South Sherbrook Fitness in Winnipeg and the Founder of the Underdog Training Method. Training with battle ropes is an effective way of performing high intensity conditioning training without taxing your lower body. Battle ropes can be used in a variety of ways. In this video we show you the alternating wave and the double hand wave. Interval training with battle ropes can be successfully performed with using the appropriate rest and for periods for the individual training. There comes a point in everyone’s life when it’s time for a change. Your fitness regimen is no exception. Aside from the boredom factor, there’s also the plateau effect. Adding an unconventional training technique to your fitness regimen will not only restore life to your workouts, it’ll shock different muscles into action. Originally developed for specific combat sports such as football and Mixed Martial Arts, heavy rope training (or rope battling) is making it mainstream. If you’re looking for highly effective, back-to-basics type of conditioning that brings a new twist to your fitness routine, this is it. Along with increasing your strength, power and endurance, the constant motion of rope battling will floor you with a muscle-toning, metabolic workout unlike any other. You’ll be shocked at how fast a few quick whips can get you to your maximum heart rate. All You Need Unlike those flimsy infomercial contraptions or expensive home workout machines, heavy rope training requires just one sturdy, low-cost piece of equipment--rope. Don’t have one? No problem. Head to your local hardware store and get yourself about 50 feet of manila rope (1.5 to 2 inches in thickness). Manila is best because it’s sturdy and will stand up to the weekly pounding you put it through. You’re also going to need something to anchor the rope. If it’s a pole, post or tree, loop the rope around it to give you two even lengths, holding one end in each hand. If it’s a person, have them grab the rope at the middle and make sure they’re strong enough to handle the fury coming their way. Whatever anchor you use, be sure it’s secure. Make Some Waves There are tons of pulse pounding, heavy rope exercises to ramp up your cardio and build your core strength. Common movements include waves, slams, throws, spirals and whips. All involve swinging your arms up and down (or side to side) in some manner for timed intervals. To maximize your efforts, focus on maintaining the intensity of the motion from start to finish, no matter how much it burns. And it’s definitely going to burn. Start out doing 3 sets of 30-second intervals with 45 seconds of rest in between. As you get stronger and your conditioning improves, you can increase the duration of the move and decrease the rest times. With each of these exercises, you want to create a solid base by planting your feet in a shoulder width stance and stabilizing your core. You’ll quickly discover that these exercises engage not just your arms and shoulders, but your whole body. ********************* Where can you find Lester Hernandez: http://underdogtm.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leddstarr/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/south_sherb...
