Fun Gym Items You'll Want to Steal

Using a battle rope at the gym is a great way to sculpt arms and increase endurance (and look pretty badass while you're doing it), but installing one at home? Not so much. Not only do most battle ropes take up a lot of space, but they can be tripping hazards if you leave them in the wrong place in your backyard or garage. The Hyperwear SandRope ($180 for a 30-pound rope) is an effective home alternative: essentially a neoprene tube filled with sand, it doesn't need to be attached to an anchor point and is small enough to coil up out of the way when you're not using it.
