How to Battle Rope
Starting Position
1. Make sure to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise.
2. Don_ let your arms overextend as you move the rope, as this can cause shoulder strain.
3. Start with a lighter weight rope and gradually increase the weight as your strength increases.
Proper Form
1. Keep your core engaged and your back straight as you move the rope up and down by extending and flexing your arms.
2. Alternate the arms as you move the rope, going as fast as you can.
Breathing Technique
1. As you move the rope, exhale each time your arms extend and inhale each time your arms flex.
2. Focus on taking deep breaths.
Precautions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
2. Hold one end of the rope in each hand, with your arms slightly bent.
