Instructions
1. Begin by placing a dumbbell on the ground next to where your hand will be positioned in a plank position.
2. Assume a high plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart and feet slightly wider to maintain balance. Place one hand on the dumbbell.
3. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels, engaging your core and squeezing your glutes to keep stable.
4. While maintaining the plank position, row the dumbbell upward by bending your elbow and bringing it towards your ribcage.
5. Keep your elbow close to your body and ensure your torso remains parallel to the ground to avoid rotation.
6. Lower the dumbbell back to the starting position in a controlled manner and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. After completing one side, switch the dumbbell to your other hand and perform the exercise with the other arm.
Make sure to focus on keeping your back flat and your hips level during the exercise to engage the core muscles properly and avoid straining your lower back. Perform the exercise in a controlled fashion to maximize the benefits to the targeted muscle groups.
