Alternating towel row

  • Duration: 8 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Weight loss

Loop a sturdy towel around the leg of a heavy chair pressed firmly against a wall, holding one end in each hand. Stand facing the anchor point with both arms extended, then lean back slightly until you feel tension in the towel. Pull your right hand toward your waist while keeping your left arm extended, squeezing your right shoulder blade back, then extend your right arm as you pull with your left. Keep alternating sides in a steady rhythm. Do 3 sets of 8 pulls on each side.
