Is climbing a rope good exercise i climb a 20 foot rope 5 days a week for 20 minutes is this a good workout?

Answer 1

All exercise is a good workout compared to doing nothing. Climbing is very good exercise because it uses arms, legs and core muscles which is nearly all of the body - like swimming. You could vary the speed that you climb for more aerobic workout when going faster and more static strength when going slower.

Good Luck

Answer 2

You need to vary the exercise.

All the muscle groups need attention.

Answer 3

Very good exercise, that is also part of military training and exercise.
