As a fitness phenom in the RGV, regular workouts become pretty easy for me and I feel that I don't get the same benefits unless I add a variation. Hence, I decided since I'm pretty good at balancing on a stability ball so why not try it with a battle rope drill.
During the exercise, you have to keep your core tight and your mind focused while moving the ropes. You quads and glute will burn like you have never felt before. Just make sure you can first master balancing on a ball for at least a minute or more. This exercise is dangerous and you can injure yourself if you are not careful.
Benefits of using a stability ball
- Improves stability and balance by constantly engage the core abdominal muscles.
- Participating in exercises that constantly engage your core muscles helps your waist shrink.
- Stronger abdominal muscles protect the lower back for more extensive weight training and promote better posture.
- The stability ball can be used to lift weights and other forms or resistance training.
Benefits of Battle Rope Training
- A great cardiovascular workout for the upper body.
- Also engages the muscles in your abdominals, back, and glutes.
- Can incorporate movements such as jumps, lunges, squats or balance exercises like above.
- Start off executing a regular rope drill with 30 sec. Then, progress up to 45 sec and 1 min.
