Have we rediscovered the ancient Roman secret to buff bodies worthy of statuary? Yes, through whipping ropes!
That is why all athletes, of any stature, whip those ropes. (Of course, we aren't as barbaric as the Romans, so we don't whip animate beings.) Surely, you've seen them whipping those huge ropes at the gym.
Too bad we didn't figure out this form of exercise when we (Baby Boomers) were at the top of “our game” or we, too, could have been amazing. Instead, the best we could do to beef up our bodies was do aerobics with Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons – not a Roman tradition.
