Looking for a new way to keep active and improve your fitness? Perhaps you’re bored of your current workout routine, or you’re searching for something a little cheaper than your gym membership. Here are a few creative ways to get some exercise – and all you need is some rope!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SKIPPING<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Who doesn’t like skipping? It’s great fun for all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n WHICH ROPE IS BEST FOR SKIPPING?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n BEAL WALLMASTER<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Bealmaster rope<\/a> is primarily used for rock climbing. As much as we highly recommend climbing as a great way to exercise in itself, there’s plenty of other things you can do with this rope for a fraction of the price and even from the comfort of your own home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bealmaster<\/a> is perfect for skipping because this rope is robust, easy to handle, and has just the right amount of stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a general guide, we recommend about 2m for a child, 2.4m for a short adult, and 3m for a taller adult. Or why not order a few metres and have a big skipping rope for two people to hold? <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re unsure how much rope to order, just remember that a rope that’s too long is a bit more difficult to skip with but one that is too short is just impossible. So, if in doubt, order a little extra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Battle ropes<\/a> offer a demanding but very rewarding workout. We sell these ropes to boot camps, army training facilities, and gyms all over the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n WHICH ROPE IS BEST FOR BATTLE WORKOUTS?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MANILA<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Manila<\/a> is a traditional material used to make sturdy, strong battle ropes. As this is a natural fibre, we seal the ends with rubber to stop the manila from fraying and untwisting. A thick piece of manila<\/a> is sure to last you a long time, but we’d advise at least looking at other material options if you’re planning on using your battle rope outside. This is because manila<\/a> wont cope that well in the rain and will swell if it gets wet. You should also make sure the rope is dry before storing or it may start to biodegrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n POLYESTER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We also make synthetic battle ropes<\/a> which can withstand all weather types if you’re training outside. Our braided polyester battle rope<\/a> is a great choice for indoor workouts too as it wont shed like natural fibres will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n You might not have heard of rope flow before, but this is a very rapidly growing hobby.
