Constructing and<br />
Using a Battle-Log<br />
By Henk Bakker<br />
During one of my workouts in a wooded area I got inspired to<br />
design a training tool suited to training outdoors in nature. So<br />
it’s no coincidence that I constructed a product from nature.<br />
I knew from experience that you could do a lot of different<br />
training exercises with a log. I figured, if I attached handles to<br />
the log then I could do a lot more exercises with it. So I came<br />
up with an idea to make the handles out of rope, but they had<br />
to be strong enough to handle the weight and the movements<br />
of the log.<br />
The Battle-Log is a unique training tool designed for<br />
unconventional athletes who want to do a full-body workout<br />
with one training tool. Agility, strength and endurance are the<br />
key capabilities of this multifunctional tool.<br />
This Battle-Log weighs just over 20 kilos (see pictures). This<br />
is heavy enough to provide a decent challenge to the body.<br />
I bought a multifunctional rope and used the Macrame knot<br />
to make firm handles. (see pictures)<br />

How to make your own Battle-Log<br />
First, you need to find a log with a diameter of about 20 cm<br />
-- the log should be long enough so that you can cut it at<br />
120cm length.
