Battle Rope training – Extreme Endurance Training

Start making waves

Training with Battle Ropes might look easy but it can be extremely challenging. The ropes are between 10 and 20 m long and the trainee swings them in different ways to create waves that run towards the anchor. This involves your Arms, Shoulders, Core and even your Legs. It´s an effective cardio training that can be a full workout on its own as well as a challenging finisher at the end of a workout.

How does Battle Rope training work?

The Battle Rope is fixed to a central anchor so will need a little more then half the rope length as training space. The athlete holds both ends in his hands. The number of exercises is surprisingly high: apart from the well-known wave patterns (which can be done synchronous or alternating) you can do circles with your arms in front of your body or shake the rope horizontally so that it flows like two snakes towards the anchor point. Or explosively move both ends simultaneously from one side of your body to the other side. If you change your body position during the exercises – e.g. doing lunges at the same time or swinging the rope from a plank position – you can intensify your rope workouts even more.

aerobis for highest quality

Common Battle Ropes are often made of hemp or nylon. These materials, however, are not the best choice for fitness training ropes. They are not flexible enough for optimal waves and not suitable for outdoor training. aerobis Battle Ropes are made of polyester and manufactured with a complex weaving technique. This makes them heavier than other training ropes and, at the same time, more flexible. A stabilizing rope core is sewn up with the outer layer, guaranteeing that the Battle Ropes always keep their form. Additionally, aerobis Battle Ropes are UV-resistant and don’t soak up water. Thus, battle ropes by aerobis are not only suitable for indoor training but can also be used in outdoor trainings.

How much space do I need?

To train with a battle rope, you’ll need roughly half the length of the rope as usable training space. Additionally, leave 2–3 meters (6.5–10 ft) of clearance on each side for unrestricted movement. For example, if your available training area is 6 meters (20 ft) long, a 10-meter (33 ft) battle rope would be a perfect fit.

When choosing a rope, prioritize length over diameter. Use the maximum length that your space allows, as longer ropes provide more versatility and allow you to adjust workout intensity more effectively by varying the wave distance. Longer ropes create smoother, larger waves, making it easier to modify the difficulty level.

What diameter should I choose?

aerobis Battle Ropes come in two diameters: 30 mm (1.2 in) and 40 mm (1.6 in). The diameter directly affects the difficulty of the exercises, as thicker ropes are heavier and require significantly more strength and endurance to generate waves.

  • 30 mm (1.2 in): Ideal for beginners and general fitness training. Easier to grip and lighter, making it suitable for longer sessions and high-rep training.
  • 40 mm (1.6 in): Recommended for advanced users and athletes seeking a challenge. The increased thickness and weight demand greater strength and effort, making it perfect for building power and grip strength.

Which Battle Rope is right for me?

For beginners, we recommend starting with a 30 mm (1.2 in) diameter rope to focus on technique and endurance. Experienced athletes or those looking for maximum intensity should choose the 40 mm (1.6 in) version for a more demanding workout.
