Are ropes courses good exercise?
Physical Benefits Forget jogging or swimming, a high ropes adventure is a fun and unique way of getting some exercise. As you make your way through the trees, you’ll exercise without even realising it, strengthening new muscles and improving your endurance. Battle rope exercises are great for building muscular strength, increasing cardiorespiratory fitness, and enhancing athletic performance. They’re low impact and can be performed sitting down, so they’re a great alternative to other cardio exercises.Battle ropes are great at toning and sculpting muscle. The weight of the ropes, coupled with high repetition workouts means your shoulders, arms, back, legs and core will really feel the burn! Battle ropes make it easy to tone up your muscles in slightly different ways, which forces them to work harder.
