Standing · Upper back
Standing Bent-Over Row
Pulls both elbows back to strengthen the upper back and support better posture.
How to do it
- Stand on the middle of the EZband with feet hip-width apart. Hold one side of the band in each hand.
- Soften your knees and hinge forward from the hips a little, keeping your back long and flat.
- Let your arms hang toward the floor, palms facing each other.
- Pull both elbows back toward your ribs, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Pause, then lower slowly.
- Do 8–10 reps.
Form tips
- Only hinge as far as you can keep a flat back — a small lean is fine.
- Keep your neck in line with your spine; look at the floor a few feet ahead.
- Think “elbows to back pockets.”
Using your EZband
Stand on the centre of the band. Shorten your grip for more resistance, lengthen it for less.
Beginner modifications
- Do it standing upright with no hinge.
- Do it seated, with the band under both feet.
Safety notes
- Skip the hinge if you have low-back pain; stand tall instead.
- Make sure the band is secure under your feet before pulling.
