Rope Flow

People of all ages and fitness levels can do this.
Rope flow lets you use your full range of motion to improve coordination, balance, endurance, and flexibility.
It involves moving your weighted rope in different patterns for fitness, stress relief, recovery.
What are the principles of Rope Flow
Using patterns based in figure 8 hand movements, and rotation of the upper body, you roll the rope around you as opposed to jumping through it.
This teaches your body to dynamically unify the force production from the floor to your hands through both upper and lower limbs, as well as left and right sides.
