Virtual Gym: Dumbbell Bent Over Row
Starting Position:
Stand with feet shoulders-width apart and a slight bend in the
knees.
Hold a dumbbell in each hand and bend forward from the hips
until the upper body is at about 45 degrees.
Extend the arms down, keeping your shoulder blades together.
Movement:
Contracting the upper back muscles, pull the dumbbells up
toward your sides, stopping when your upper arm is parallel to the
floor. Remember to slightly squeeze the shoulder blades together as you
pull up to the contracted position.
Slowly return to the starting position, stopping just short of the
arms fully extending.
Key Points:
Exhale as you lift the weights.
Inhale while returning to the starting position.
If you have any discomfort or weakness in your lower back, avoid
this exercise.
Start out with light weights to make sure your lower back can
tolerate this position
