| Description: | Wave
- For this exercise you will need a heavy rope anchored at its center 15-20 feet away. Standing in front of the rope, take an end in each hand with your arms extended at your side. This will be your starting position.
- Initiate the movement by rapidly raising one arm to shoulder level as quickly as you can.
- As you let that arm drop to the starting position, raise the opposite side.
- Continue alternating your left and right arms, whipping the ropes up and down as fast as you can.
Variations
Slam: Lift both ends of the rope overhead, and then slam the rope down with full force onto the ground. Make sure to maintain good posture. This move engages your shoulders, arms, back, and core, especially your abs.
Claps: Move your arms in and out like you’re clapping your hands together.
