Christians are beginning to understand the place of keeping the physical body healthy through fitness and good dieting but one thing that scares people off easily when it comes to hitting the gym is where to start from and how to follow through the seeming difficult routines. There are high and low impact exercises. As a beginner you may be wondering where to start from at the gym, battle ropes or heavy ropes is a good recommendation. This is because battle ropes has been proven to be a low impact exercise and it is safe for beginners as a cardiovascular exercise; here, starting with the right rope is advisable, maybe a smaller battle rope and if you need to challenge yourself more, go for the appropriate rope.
Battle ropes is an aerobic and anaerobic exercise, meaning as an aerobic exercise, it requires oxygen to generate energy and increases breathing rate/heart rate to help supply oxygen to the body’s muscles, as an anaerobic exercise, it helps with body mass and strength. While the aerobic function helps with endurance, the anaerobic function helps to build strength and muscle mass.
The topic of building endurance and resistance cannot be far fetched while talking about exercise, even as a runner trying to build endurance, battle ropes is a great exercise for that purpose. Beyond the beginner, anyone can do the battle ropes exercise because of its flexibility and room for taking different positions while at it, you can stand, sit and sway the ropes bilateral or as you wish.
Overall, the battle ropes has strength benefits, fat loss benefits as it helps to burn calories and is also good for cardiovascular conditioning.
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s”. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
While we keep our Spirit man sound, let’s sure do well to glorify God with the temple He has created for Himself. One of the ways to do this asides staying away from sin is to actually improve the state of our bodies by being conscious of the well being of the physical body. Don’t be careless about your physical health. Know that you cannot put liquid or valuable substance in a broken vessel/broken container. Keep fit, look good, feel great and glorify God in your body.
