The Bodyweight Standing Row is a resistance exercise that targets the muscles in the back, shoulders, and arms. This exercise requires minimal equipment and can be performed using a resistance band or suspension trainer.
How to perform
To perform the Bodyweight Standing Row, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart and holding onto the resistance band handles or suspension straps in both hands.
2. Lean back slightly, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
3. Start with your arms extended in front of you at chest height, with a slight bend in your elbows.
4. Pull your hands towards your body, squeezing your shoulder blades together as you bring your elbows back.
5. Pause at the top of the movement, making sure to keep your shoulders down and back.
6. Slowly return to the starting position, maintaining control over the movement.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can adjust the angle of your body or increase the resistance of the band/suspension straps. Be sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise, and avoid using momentum to complete the movement.
