Your Exercise Routine: Standing Row
Your Exercise Routine: Standing RowThe next exercise we’re going to complete is called a Standing Row. This is to exercise and strengthen one of the mostimportant muscle groups in our body, which is our back muscles - all the muscles that run down from the back of theshoulders down through your lower back region.The tool we’re going to use today is an exercise band that looks like this. It has handles on the ends. It’s made of somesort of rubber material. You can purchase one of these tools for a small investment at either a department store or asporting goods store.The way we do this exercise: You want to have either a partner or some sort of post or pole inside the home to wrapthe band around. I’m going to act as the post today, so that you can do your exercise. I’m going to hand you the bands.You’re going to grab one handle in each hand. I’m going to stand back so we have some tension in the band.Now the band should be about the same height as your elbows, so I’m going to hold the band up here. I’m going to putone foot in front and one foot behind to stabilize myself so I don’t move forward or backwards. And all you’re going todo is pull the handles backwards, squeezing your shoulder blades back together and then bringing your arms forward.Like with our other exercises we’re going to complete 10 repetitions and then take a break. Ready?You’re going to pull both hands back together … squeeze … then bring the arms forward. There you go … yes.Now, notice you want to focus on maintaining straight alignment with the body. You do not want to be leaningbackwards with this or leaning forwards. Your body should be straight up and down. The only thing moving are yourarms.Two more … last one. Awesome. Very good.Page 1 of 1This program is for informational purposes only. Publisher disclaims all guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness,or suitability of this video for medical decision making.
