Rope flow, a rhythmic and dynamic form of rope training, offers several benefits to runners. The rhythmic, figure-eight motions of rope flow mimic the natural arm swing and body rotation involved in walking and running, making movements more fluid and efficient. It is low impact, improves coordination, balance, proprioception, strength, and mobility.
Rope Flow specifically helps with spinal mobility and strengthens the upper body, opening up the chest, helping runners maintain good posture. Additionally, it improves joint mobility and flexibility, particularly in the shoulders, hips, and ankles.
The cardiovascular demands of rope flow also make it a versatile cross-training tool for runners.
We are starting a mini challenge to learn 4 basic movements of a rope flow practice, so feel invited and read into what you need to join in by heading to
