Instructions

  • A towel

1. Setup:

  • Sit on the padded stool with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart.

  • Hold the towel with both hands, keeping your arms extended in front of you at shoulder height. The towel should be taut between your hands.

  1. Starting Position:

    • Keep your back straight and chest lifted.

    • Your elbows should be slightly bent, and your grip on the towel should be firm but relaxed.

  2. Movement:

    • Begin the movement by pulling the towel towards you, bending your elbows and retracting your shoulder blades. Imagine rowing a kayak.

    • As you pull the towel, lean back slightly while maintaining a strong core to stabilize your position.

    • Exhale as you pull the towel towards your chest.

  3. Return:

    • Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position while inhaling.

    • Ensure you maintain control of the movement and do not let your shoulders hunch forward.

  4. Repetitions:

    • Perform 10-15 repetitions, focusing on controlled movements and proper form.

    • Rest for 30-60 seconds between sets if needed.

  5. Tips:

    • Keep your movements smooth and avoid jerking.

    • Ensure to engage your core throughout the exercise to maintain balance.

    • Feel free to adjust the tension on the towel to match your strength level.
