The Bodyweight Standing Row with Towel is a simple yet effective exercise that targets the muscles in the upper back, shoulders, and arms. It can be done virtually anywhere as long as you have a sturdy object to attach the towel to.
How to perform
Here are the step-by-step instructions for performing the Bodyweight Standing Row with Towel:1. Find a sturdy object such as a door handle, railing, or tree branch that is at waist height.
2. Attach a towel to the object and grab both ends of the towel with your hands, palms facing each other.
3. Position your feet hip-width apart and stand with your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and core engaged.
4. Lean back slightly so that your body forms a diagonal line from your head to your heels.
5. Pull yourself up towards the towel by squeezing your shoulder blades together, keeping your elbows close to your body.
6. Pause at the top of the movement and then slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
To increase the intensity of this exercise, you can adjust the angle of your body by leaning back further or by using a thicker towel for added resistance. Remember to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to protect your lower back and maintain proper form.
