Exercise 5 - Rope Swing

The rope swing hangs from a hook in the garage. We tried several different methods of minimising the friction when moving my arm on a table or bench. We tried satin cloth, trolleys, sheets of plastic but none totally removed friction. The rope swing overcomes this and it is easy to move the arm in any direction. As a variation we often use Theraband to pull against to increase sideways resistance.
