The Bodyweight Standing One Arm Row with Towel is a bodyweight exercise that targets the muscles in the back, shoulders, and arms. This exercise is especially effective for building strength and improving stability in the upper body.
How to perform
To perform the Bodyweight Standing One Arm Row with Towel, follow these steps:1. Begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart and hold a towel in one hand. Your arm should be fully extended in front of you, grasping the towel with an overhand grip.
2. Keeping your back straight and core engaged, bend your knees slightly and hinge at the hips to lower your torso towards the ground. Your back should remain flat throughout the movement.
3. Inhale as you pull the towel towards your body, bending your elbow and bringing it towards your ribcage. Your shoulder blade should retract as you bring the towel towards your waist.
4. Exhale as you slowly lower the towel back to the starting position, fully extending your arm in front of you.
5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps on one side before switching to the other side.
