Simple...Not Easy

Ropes are some of my favorite pieces of exercise equipment.

At my gym in North Vancouver, I have a 40 foot piece of 1.5 inch and a 50 foot piece of 2 inch manilla rope.

As a personal trainer, I am always looking for new, unique and, most of all, effective tools for training my clients (not just the latest balance toy!).

The ropes can be used for a full body workout and are especially effective for interval training and circuit training. They can also be used for an intense cardio exercise without using the legs. How many times have you or someone you know had a lower body injury and had a hard time getting a good high intensity cardio workout in. With ropes you can. I personally have a client with rhumetoid arthritis, and therefore very sore knees, who loves using the ropes.

Here is a short video



If you're in North Vancouver or the surrounding area and you'd like to try this unique type of exercise, email me at titaniumfitness@telus.net to set up a free session.

That's all for today,
