Instructions

Resistance Band Seated Row

Positioning:
1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Your feet should be about shoulder-width apart.
2. Loop a resistance band around the soles of your feet, holding the ends of the band in each hand. Your palms should be facing each other.
3. Sit tall, keeping your back straight and shoulders relaxed.

Movement:
1. Begin the exercise by engaging your core and pulling the band towards you. Bend your elbows and draw your hands towards your waist. Keep your elbows close to your body.
2. As you pull, squeeze your shoulder blades together. This will activate the muscles in your back.
3. Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position, maintaining control and form. Do not hunch your shoulders or lean back as you return.
4. Repeat the movement for 10-15 repetitions, ensuring your movements are smooth and controlled throughout.
5. Focus on your breathing—exhale as you pull the band toward you and inhale as you return to the starting position.

Tips:
- Keep your movements slow to maintain tension in the band and effectively work your muscles.
- If you feel any strain in your shoulders or lower back, check your form and adjust the resistance band to a lighter tension if necessary.
