Non-fiction Picture Books.

Benefits of Battle Rope Training. Battle ropes are often thought of as a tool for your upper body, which they are. However, their benefits don't end there. Battle rope workouts work the muscles in your abs, back, and glutes, and you can incorporate movements, such as jumps, lunges, and squats, that work your legs, too. It's a great core training.
A full-body workout, however, can help improve cardiovascular health, burn calories and ensure each part of your body gets stronger. Most jump rope workouts work your entire body, but it's also possible to target problem areas. Jumping rope is a form of cardiovascular exercise. It elevates your heart and respiration rate to supply blood and oxygen to your muscles and works large muscle groups. Your arms and legs will get a strong workout, and your back and abs will help to stabilize your body, helping you build muscle in these areas, too.
