Battle Rope Snake
How to do it
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, holding one end of the battle rope in each hand close to the floor.
- Keep the arms nearly straight with a slight bend at the elbows and a steady grip.
- Brace the core to keep the hips from swaying with the arm motion.
- Move both arms in a continuous side-to-side pattern low to the ground so the ropes ripple like a snake, keeping tension through the shoulders throughout.
- Keep the movement smooth and breathe steadily in rhythm with the continuous motion rather than jerking the ropes with short pulses.
- Avoid letting the core go slack, which causes the hips to sway with the arm motion.
