Battle rope training for those wheel chair bound or with lower body injuries



Many people feel that if you're wheel chair bound or you tear an ACL or break your leg or ankle that you're going to get fat. This is because everyone associates burning fat with traditional cardio i.e.. running, walking, elliptical machine, bicycling, stair master etc..This couldn't be further from the truth. The reality is you will get a better cardio workout from BATTLE ROPES than just about any exercise out there. Additionally you will still be getting a tremendous full upper body and core workout. This applies not only to those that are wheel chair bound or have a lower extremity injury. Many elderly start to put on weight because it difficult to do the traditional cardio workouts, due to aging and hip problems. They will get a better workout sitting in a chair using the battle ropes in 10 minutes, than they would get if they were able to walk for several hours. Anyone who knows anything about burning fat knows that you must have your heart rate up in order to incinerate that fat. . Even if you are missing an arm you can still get an incredible cardio workout by just using the other arm. In a nut shell, the BATTLE ROPES are the best way.
