Battling ropes focus on the core, arms, back and shoulders but engage the entire body for an intense cardio workout or HIIT (high intensity interval training) routine. The Reebok Battling Rope is classed as a heavy rope at 5cm x 10m, and provides a significant challenge to users. Through workouts such as the wave or slam, using the battling rope single or two handed is an ideal piece of equipment to train the torso and shoulders.
