Seated Row (Band)
Trains the upper back, with help from the biceps, rear delts and lats. You need a resistance band. None of our programs use it yet, but you can add it to any session you build.
Free to use. The app works out every weight and times your rest.
Technique
How to do the Seated Row (Band)
- Sit on the floor with your legs fully extended and feet together, anchoring the resistance band around the soles of your feet. Hold the handles with both hands, arms extended forward, palms facing each other.
- Keep your back straight, chest up, and core engaged to stabilize your body.
- Pull the handles towards your torso by bending your elbows, keeping your arms close to your body. Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement.
- Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position, maintaining control over the resistance band. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Keep your back straight and avoid slouching to maintain proper form.
- Engage your core to prevent any rocking or unnecessary movement during the exercise.
- Use a controlled motion to pull and release the resistance band, avoiding jerking movements.
