Seated Row Exercises For Travel Fitness

"Hi I’m Manny Castro, exercise physiologist. This next exercise is called seated row. Again, we will use the tubing and basically what I’ve done is I’ve hooked on the wrist attachments to the short tubing and the ex-resistance tubing. What I’ll do is put the tubing on the bottom of my feet, stretch out my legs all the way and keeping my elbows close to my body, I am going to pull straight back, flex and hold. Now remember we are concentrating on the back here so what you want to do is when you pull back, you want to squeeze your shoulder blades together. Now one thing to keep in mind with tubing, any time the length is not to your right fit or does not offer enough resistance, you can always make the tubing shorter or longer by stepping a little closer or farther away from the wrist attachment. So right now if I were to spread my feet a little bit more what I would do is offer more resistance with that tubing. Again, we are going to use about 15 to 20 repetitions and about 3 sets."
