This is the fourth in a series entitled “Exercise Band Workouts” which focus on at-home exercises with an exercise resistance band. Make sure that you are familiar with Part I: Bicep Curls, part II: Tricep Extensions, and part III, Side Raises.

This next exercise is for the back muscles.  Specifically, the Latissimus Dorsi, or “Lats”.  This exercise may be done in one of two ways.  The first method required a solid beam or hook of some sort in your house and is the preffered method, as you can create more resistance.  The second, although not quite as effective, will still give you resistance but you may need to do more reps to get the same benefit.

• With the band  wrapped and secured around the hook or beam, sit on the ground with your legs straight ahead and your back straight up, as though you were the letter “L”.
• Grab the handles, one in each hand, and row your arms back while maintaining a straight back and your legs flat on the ground.
• Hold the row for a second and slowly return to the starting position.

Repeat this move 15-20 times and start over on the other side. Once the other side is done, you will complete one set. Try to do 3-4 sets of this exercise. Remember to focus on your form. Don’t jerk your arm or use momentum. Focus on your back muscle and adjust the resistance if it is too easy or too difficult by moving closer or further away from the hook or beam.

If you don’t have a hook or a beam, you can wrap the resistance band around your feet once or twice, depending on your strength and the resistance of the band and follow the same routine as above.  Do as many rows as you can, and focus on form.  You should definitely feel your muscles working when you get done with this exercise!

Don’t forget that in addition to this exercise, I recommend that you take Proactol for weight loss. Proactol is a new doctor approved and clinically proven all natural weight loss supplement that can help you lose up to 6 pounds per week!
