One Legged Row with Bands

This exercise targets so many muscles of the back, and works the posture muscles that, for many of us, tend to stay rounded forward for most of the day. One legged row provides a nice countermove to that and doing it while squatting on one leg as shown will involve even more muscles of the legs, abs and back.




Preparation:

Wrap band around stable object and stand facing it, chin up and core muscles contracted.
Standing on one leg directly in the middle of the bosu ball.
Movement:

Begin movement by pulling the elbows back until level with torso, squeezing the shoulder blades and keeping arms parallel to ground, keeping the abdominal and lower back muscles contracted.
As you bend the knee you are standing on leave the band and the resting leg fully extended.
Once you begin to extend the working leg bring the knee of your relaxed leg up towards the ceiling and pull the band towards you.
Aim for 10 to 12 repetitions per leg
