A bit of history
The idea of training with ropes is often credited to a man named John Brookfield (John Brookfield). He developed his own system of training with the ropes known as Battling Ropes. His system used a lot of athletes, including NFL players and members of the Olympic team bobsled. One of them is Ingrid Marcum (Ingrid Marcum). Is it John Brookfield has recorded a DVD, which they tested a few dozen different exercises in order to increase strength and endurance, and also showed how exercise with rope improve explosive movements.
Then these exercises are scattered in different areas of strength training, and as Battling Ropes have become a trademark, you can see different variations of them under completely different names.

The ropes are usually attached to the wall or to the ring on the floor. They can be of different lengths and differ in weight, but they have one purpose — to make you unforgettable, killer workout!
The main advantages of working with this kind of trainer:

Studies have shown that 10-minute workout with a rope is equivalent to vigorous exercise and burns 10 calories per minute, that is, one half-hour workout, we will burn at least 300 calories (300 to 500 kcal), and elevated level of metabolism will persist for another 36 hours.
Another plus: intense interval training helps to develop both aerobic and anaerobic capacity of the body after four weeks of training.
