Don't be a battleaxe!

Battle ropes or exercise ropes are usually left in the corner of the gym floor gathering dust but when used properly this piece of kit can work wonders....

The weighted rope can simultaneously boost metabolism and tone muscle, and although it seems like an upper body only workout you can combine it with leg work, such as lunges for an all over body workout! 

Add some rope work into your routine and it will maintain a high calorie burn during and after your workout. Video to follow....
