So again, I mentioned that i bought resistance bands recently.. I've always wanted to try rowing but i was always a little intimidated by the machine itself. At my gym, there's only one machine. I was google reading and came across this post which lead me to this post which tells me about the below:
Rowing with resistance bands! How perfect is this?
Rowing with resistance bands! How perfect is this?
Step 1: Sit up straight on a mat with your legs slightly bent out in front of you. Holding the ends of the resistance band in each hand with the edges tucked inside each fist, hinge forward from the hips -- about 40 degrees with arms extended -- to stretch it around the balls of your feet. Brace with your legs.
Step 2: Swing the back and core open. Lean back and pull your arms back (last!), almost like you're rowing a boat. It's as if you're trying to squeeze a pencil between your shoulder blades, while keeping your shoulders down and your back straight. You may not have the machine's sliding seat, but you're bracing your legs with the band. Release slowly and repeat. *The Indo-Row 3x3 Technique has a specific order: On the "Drive" engage the legs, core, then arms and on the "Recovery" allow the arms to return first, lean forward with the core and, finally, let the legs come up a little.
Do 20-30 reps, 4-6 times.
