battle rope

Undulating fitness tool

Battle ropes are thick, heavy ropes used in fitness training, typically anchored at a center point while a person grips each end.

The exerciser creates waves, slams, or spirals by moving the arms rapidly, building cardiovascular endurance and upper body strength: Twenty seconds of battle ropes left her gasping.

A staple of high-intensity interval training.
