How to Do Rowing Tubing Exercises

Video Transcript

"This exercise is the row and it's going to target the muscles in the center of the back between the shoulder blades called rhomboids and the middle trapezius. I want you to take the tubing, hold it by the handles. Again, just hold the center where you think you're going to get the most resistance that you need. If we hold way out here there is no resistance, so we definitely want to choke up on the tubing a little bit to create the resistance. The nice thing about tubing is you don't have to worry about where you are as oppose to the gravity or where the resistance is. The tubing is creating the resistance for you. With your shoulders down and relaxed, your feet about hip distance apart, bring the tube out in front of you. Remember we don't want the shoulders elevated. Relax the shoulders. You're going to pull straight back. The elbows are lower than the shoulders. If you see this from the side, we'll be pulling straight back. While you're doing that, you're pulling and squeezing the shoulder blades together, contacting the rhomboids, the middle trapezius, and you're also working the posterior deltoids. You get those nice cuts in the shoulders. You're pulling against the resistance of the tube. Again, if you need more resistance, just hold closer up on that tube and you'll be able to fatigue those muscles groups in about 12-15 repetitions."
