Our series on Foundational Movements is back! For part three of our series, my client Doug is working on a variation of a Rowing Movement.
Rowing as with the rest of our foundational movements, is an essential movement pattern that we use every single day without even noticing. From picking up an object from the floor to pulling up our pants, to maintaining a nice upright posture, we use this many different variations of rows every single day!!
It is essential that as we age we make sure to perfect this movement to the best of our abilities so we can live free, independent and pain free lives.
Form (as with all movements) is essential in order to avoid injury and to get stronger. To maintain form, always make sure your shoulders are rolled back before initiating the movement. When initiating the movement, make sure your shoulder blade draw straight back and closer together, while avoiding rasing your shoulders or extending (rotating elbows up)
Start in sitting, then advance to standing and in various other positions such as in a bent over position. Variety is always beneficial so you will be able to handle anything life throws at you!! Have a wonderful summer everyone and stay active☀️☀️☀️
