  3. Sit upright with your feet flat on the footrest and your knees slightly bent.
  4. Exhale and pull the handles towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.

  6. Inhale and slowly release the handles, extending your arms back to the starting position.

Horizontal Row Machine Tips

  1. Adjust the seat height to ensure your feet are firmly planted on the footrests, maintaining a stable base.
  2. Grip the handles with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, to target the upper back muscles effectively.
  3. Keep your back straight and engage your core throughout the movement to maintain proper form and prevent strain.
  4. Initiate the exercise by pulling your shoulder blades together, squeezing the upper back muscles as you pull the handles towards your chest.
  5. Control the movement and avoid using momentum by maintaining a slow and controlled pace throughout the exercise.
  6. Exhale as you pull the handles towards your chest and inhale as you return to the starting position, focusing on your breathing pattern.
