ROCK ROW

-

You’ll challenge your mind-muscle coordinati­on as you work the muscles that build healthy posture. Place the middle of the band under your right foot and slide your hands into the loops (or grasp the band) near knee level. Shift your weight to your right foot. Keep a bend in your knees as you step your left foot back 30-60cm. Place your left toes on the floor, raise your chest up and gaze forward (A). From here, rock your upper body backward, shifting your weight to your back (left) foot and lifting your front (right) toes, and bend your elbows to pull your arms straight back into a row (B). As you row, keep your thumbs up, tuck your elbows close to your sides and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Continue, rocking forward and back as you row. After 30 seconds, and the 15 second recovery, switch your feet and repeat on the other side. ➤
