The Bodyweight Squatting Row (With Towel) exercise is a compound exercise that targets the muscles in the back, shoulders, arms, and legs. It is a challenging exercise that requires coordination and balance, as well as strength.
How to perform
To perform the Bodyweight Squatting Row (With Towel) exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart, holding a towel in both hands in front of you at chest level.
2. Squat down by bending your knees and lowering your hips towards the ground, keeping your chest up and back straight.
3. As you squat down, lean forward slightly and extend your arms out in front of you, keeping tension on the towel.
4. Once you are in the bottom of the squat position, pull the towel towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together as you row the towel towards your body.
5. Hold the row for a moment, then slowly release the tension on the towel as you extend your arms back out in front of you.
6. Push through your heels to stand back up to the starting position, keeping the towel taut the entire time.
7. Repeat the squat and row movement for the desired number of repetitions.
8. Make sure to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability and prevent injury.
This exercise can be modified by adjusting the depth of the squat or the tension on the towel. It is important to start with a manageable weight or resistance and gradually increase as you become stronger.
