Suspended Row

Suspended Row Instructions

Setup

1. Adjust the Rings: Set the rings so they are at waist height.
2. Grip the Rings: Stand facing the rings and grasp each one with an overhand grip (palms facing away from you).

Starting Position

1. Position Your Body: Lean back, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart, and walk your feet forward until your body is at an angle. Your arms should be extended in front of you holding the rings.
2. Body Alignment: Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels. Engage your core to maintain this alignment.

Movement

1. Pull Up: Begin the movement by pulling your chest towards the rings. Bend your elbows and squeeze your shoulder blades together.
2. Hold and Squeeze: At the top of the movement, your elbows should be slightly above your body, and your chest should be near the rings. Hold this position for a moment to maximize muscle engagement.
3. Lower Down: Slowly lower your body back to the starting position by extending your arms and controlling your descent.

Tips

- Engage Your Core: Keep your core tight throughout the movement to ensure stability.
- Breathe: Exhale as you pull up and inhale as you lower down.
- Modify as Needed: If the exercise feels too difficult, take a few steps back until you find a comfortable position.

Repetitions

- Aim for 8-12 repetitions for 2-3 sets, depending on your fitness level.

Finish

1. Return to Start: After completing your repetitions, carefully step back to return to a standing position.
2. Cool Down: Follow up with stretches for your arms and back.
