What is Rope Flow?

Rope Flow is a new fitness trend that is fast gaining traction in the fitness industry. It is part jump rope, part dancing, and is a great mobility exercise that promotes rhythm, timing, and coordination between the left and right brain. It is a fun way to exercise and improve mobility and joint health and with sufficient practice, it can also be a tool to release stress and anxiety. As the name suggests, all you need is a piece of rope to get started!

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. When jumping rope you actually counteract the force production by jumping up with the feet as the rope comes down in the hands, all while remaining in a static, neutral position. Sure, it may be a great way to work hard and tire yourself out… But, in terms of carryover to daily activity – it just does not cut it. This is the main reason why Rope Flow is a very different training stimulus in comparison to jumping rope.

When you flow with the Rope, it is viewed as an extension of your hands and as a feedback tool to understand your force production, accuracy, coordination, and rhythm. As you practice Rope Flow, your brain learns how to recruit your body to perform tasks more efficiently, using less energy for greater output. Simply put, the Rope teaches you how to move better, no matter how well you already move.

Let’s look at the similarities and differences between jump rope and rope flow

Both tools are great for developing your cardio and are super portable. They also give you feedback when you’re performing the exercises, helping you learn the correct movement patterns to progress

It’s well established that jump rope trains the elasticity and bounciness of the feet and is a go-to for boxers and the like. It can help develop leg coordination and dexterity, although generally, jump rope doesn’t train rotation.

Rather than jumping through the rope, rope flow teaches the body to rotate in an integrated manner, with the rope moving around the body. Due to its weight, the flow rope provides the ideal stimulus to program new movement patterns into the body, helping with postural and biomechanical improvements.
