Rope Training
For Arm Waves, grip each end of
the rope frmly with both hands
and start swinging your arms up
and down at the same time to
create parallel movements that are
going up and down like wavelike
motions with the rope. For Arm
Circles, swing ropes out to your
sides in wide circles. For Alternate
Arm Waves, swing one arm up
frst and then the other. For Side
Throws, keep feet grounded
and pivot side to side, throwing
ropes over to the side of you.
Note: Maintain the velocity
and fow of the waves for
entire interval no matter how
bad it burns. Heavy rope
exercises are a way to
increase your cardio and
build your core.

Box Jumps
Stand in front of the box with feet directly under the hips
and hands by your sides. Lower yourself into the jumping
position by bending at the knees and hips. Keep your
head up and back straight. Explosively jump from the
crouched position while swinging your arms. Land
softly on the center of the platform absorbing the
impact with your legs, preferably your heels. Stand
tall after landing on the box. Return to starting
position by either jumping backwards off the
box, or by stepping down and repeating the
movement. This exercise will develop lower
body strength, as well as increase your
vertical jump.
