Instructions

  1. Grab one end of the rope in each hand, facing the anchor point with a slight bend in your knees.
  2. Brace your core and begin rapidly raising one arm to shoulder height while lowering the other.
  3. Alternate your arms quickly to create continuous waves in the rope.
  4. Maintain speed and tension throughout the movement.
