Seated Band Rows
There's a band for everyone
From beginners to elite athletes,
it's easy to find the perfect band for you.
-
Wrap the resistance band under of your feet and sit back on your tailbone while grasping an end of each side of the band in your hands.
-
Starting with your arms extended forward, pull the band back as far as you can toward your abdomen.
-
Hold momentarily and squeeze your shoulder blades together.
-
Release and extend your arms back out to full extension.
Tips:
-
You can keep your feet on the floor for guidance or elevate them and balance on your butt for an added challenge.
-
Keep your abs clenched and make sure not to swing your torso back and forth to avoid cheating by using momentum to assist your pull.
-
Don't let your arms and shoulders do all the work! Make sure you consciously activate your back muscles
-
Keep chest puffed out, your back straight, and your shoulders relaxed
Variations:
-
Pull one arm back at a time or both simultaneously.
-
Insert a bar for different grip combinations (close/wide and overhand/underhand).
-
Resisted suitcases: Grasp the band and hold it in a static position by your ribs, without moving your arms, balance on your tailbone and press your legs out and then pull them back in.
Target Muscles: Back (Lats), Biceps, Abs.
