Resistance-Band Bent-Over Row

Resistance Band Bent Over Row

Starting Position:
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the resistance band with both hands.
2. Step on the band with both feet, creating tension in the band. The tension should be manageable but firm.
3. Bend your knees slightly and hinge at your hips, keeping your back straight and your torso at about a 45-degree angle to the ground.

Movement Instructions:
1. With your palms facing each other, extend your arms down towards the ground.
2. Engage your core and keep your back straight as you pull the band upwards towards your torso.
3. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you lift the band, bringing your elbows back and keeping them close to your body.
4. Hold at the top of the movement for a moment, feeling the contraction in your back muscles.
5. Slowly lower the band back to the starting position while maintaining control.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring form and control with each pull.

Tips:
- Ensure your shoulders are relaxed, and avoid shrugging as you pull the band.
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability.
- Start with lighter resistance to master the form before increasing difficulty.
