Bad day in the office - grab a rope!

Battle Rope benefits for runners:

Ropes are low impact.

This comes in especially handy for runners, and we all know about running’s high impact nature. If you run regularly, then the last thing you want is more impact. The ropes are the ideal crosstraining exercise you can do without placing too much stress on your joints because all the force is applied to your muscular system instead.

Burns mad Calories. Study shows that rope training burns as much or even more calories than heavy resistance training, sprinting and high intensity interval training. So it’s a good addition to your training program if you looking to shed some weight.

Works the core. As a runner, you can’t afford to have a weak core. Good news is rope training works your entire core from the upper abs to your glutes and quads, both stabilizing spinal movement and applying power from the core.

Safe to use. You battle the ropes as long as you can, then you just drop them on the floor when you can’t go any further. And as long as you are keeping good form, then there are no safety concern, unlike training with dumbbells and other weights.

Take minimum time. An effective rope training workout can last nothing more than 15 to 20 minutes. This comes in handy if you are short on time, and you just want to add a short workout after a run.
