battle ropes

Heavy undulating cords

Battle ropes are heavy, thick ropes used in fitness training, typically anchored at one point while the user holds both ends and creates waves through rapid arm movements.

The exercise builds cardiovascular endurance and upper body strength: Twenty seconds of battle ropes left me gasping.

Also called battling ropes.
