Exercise Profile

Battle Rope Rattlesnake Overview

The Rattlesnake workout is a battle rope exercise that primarily targets the obliques, the muscles on the sides of the abdomen.

In this workout, the battle rope is used to perform a series of twisting and slithering movements, mimicking the motion of a rattlesnake.

While the workout engages secondary muscles like the shoulders and arms, its main focus is on strengthening and toning the obliques.
