Strength exercise
Band Row
How to do it
- Anchor a resistance band at chest height and step back until there is tension, holding one end in each hand.
- Stand with feet shoulder width apart, knees soft, and hinge slightly forward from the hips.
- Brace the core and pull the band toward the torso, driving the elbows back past the ribs.
- Squeeze the shoulder blades together at the end of the pull, feeling the lats and biceps do the work.
- Exhale as you pull the band in and inhale as you extend the arms back out under control.
- Keep the torso still throughout the row; a common fault is using body momentum to yank the band instead of pulling with the back.
