Instructions
1. Setup:
- Hang the gymnastics rings from a sturdy anchor point, ensuring they are at waist height. If using TRX straps, set them to the appropriate length for your height.
2. Starting Position:
- Stand facing the rings and grasp them with an overhand grip (palms facing down).
- Walk your feet forward until your body is at an angle, creating a straight line from your head to your heels.
- Your arms should be fully extended, and your body should be parallel to the floor.
3. Body Positioning:
- Keep your core tight and engage your glutes to maintain a straight body line.
- Your heels should be on the floor or elevated slightly, depending on your strength level.
4. Performing the Row:
- Pull your chest towards the rings by bending your elbows and retracting your shoulder blades.
- Keep your elbows close to your body as you lift.
- Focus on squeezing your back muscles at the top of the movement.
5. Return to Starting Position:
- Slowly lower your body back to the starting position by extending your arms fully.
- Maintain control throughout this movement to avoid swinging or momentum.
6. Repetitions:
- Perform 8-12 repetitions for 3 sets, resting for 30-60 seconds between sets.
Tips for Beginners:
- If this exercise feels too challenging, start with your feet closer to the ground to reduce the angle of your body.
- Keep practicing regular rows or other back exercises to build strength.
- Focus on form rather than the number of repetitions to prevent injury.
