Kinesis Row Wide Tips

  1. Focus on your posture: Stand tall with your shoulders back, chest lifted, and core engaged. Imagine a string pulling you up from the top of your head, elongating your spine. This alignment will help activate your upper back muscles and prevent unnecessary strain on your lower back.
  2. Initiate the movement from your shoulder blades: Before pulling the handles, consciously squeeze your shoulder blades together and down. Imagine pinching a pencil between them. This pre-activation will ensure that your upper back muscles are engaged right from the start, maximizing the effectiveness of the exercise.
  3. Maintain a controlled and smooth motion: Avoid jerking or using momentum to move the handles. Instead, focus on a slow and controlled movement, emphasizing the contraction of your upper back muscles throughout the entire range of motion. This deliberate approach will help you build strength and improve your form.
  4. Visualize pulling your elbows back: Rather than thinking about pulling the handles towards you, imagine pulling your elbows back towards your spine. This mental cue will shift the focus to your upper back muscles, encouraging a stronger engagement and better activation of the targeted area.
  5. Don’t forget to breathe: Inhale as you prepare for the movement, and exhale as you squeeze your shoulder blades together and pull the handles towards you. Maintaining a steady breath will help you stay focused, centered
