Seated Rows Exercises for Senior Health & Fitness

Video Transcript

"The next exercise I’m going to demonstrate is called a seated row. You can is in a chair or on a ball, whatever is most comfortable for you. With or without your 1 to 3 pound hand weights. You’re going to bring those weights down by your side, separate your feet about hip width apart, make your abs really tight and just drop your chest forward slightly keeping your head, neck and back in one line. You’re going to draw those arms up by your sides squeezing those shoulder blades together and inhale as you lower right down by your sides. Exhale as you lift, inhale as you lower. Exhale lift – inhale lower. Very good, you want to take this really slow, really controlled, trying to get about 15 to 20 repetitions of these in. Good, exhale lift – inhale lower. Exhale and inhale. If this hurts your lower back at all, sit up a little bit slightly and continue the exercise. Squeeze and lower. "
