How to execute Dumbbell Row
The Dumbbell Row is a great exercise for strengthening your upper back and core muscles. It can be done with either one or two dumbbells depending on your preference and fitness level.
- To do the exercise, start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. Place a dumbbell (or two) on the floor in front of you and bend down to pick it up. Make sure you keep your back straight and don’t round your shoulders.
- From here, you’ll be in the starting position of the exercise. Pull the dumbbell up towards your chest, bending your elbow and keep your elbow close to your body. As you pull the dumbbell up, squeeze your back muscles and keep your core engaged.
- Lower the dumbbell back down slowly. As you do this, take a deep breath and focus on keeping your back and core strong. Make sure you don’t let your shoulder round or your body to arch.
- Complete 8-12 reps for 3 sets. Rest for 30-60 seconds between each set.
By doing the dumbbell row regularly, you’ll be strengthening your upper back, core and shoulder muscles, improving your posture and overall fitness.
