Saturday Mini Challenge

Bent-over Row 100 of them!

Talk about bang for the buck: This exercise works all the major muscles of the upper back, as well as the biceps.

Here's how to do it with good form. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, then bend knees and flex forward at the hips. (If you have trouble doing this exercise standing up, support your weight by sitting on an incline bench, facing backward.) Tilt your pelvis slightly forward, engage the abdominals, and extend your upper spine to add support. Hold dumbbells or barbell beneath the shoulders with hands about shoulder-width apart. Flex your elbows, and lift both hands toward the sides of your body. Pause, then slowly lower hands to the starting position. (Beginners should perform the move without weights.)

Good Luck Everyone!!!

I am not taking over for anyone...I heard about this workout through a friend of mine and figured, if I was gonna try it, others could too! I don't think that Hart James ever did a weekend challenge...if she did I always missed it. :blushing:

If you have something else, go ahead and post it---I am up for more challenges! :bigsmile:

She did a weekend challenge once then quit. I was gonna suggest windmill stretches but these are fine!

Done - thanks!

I got em done. Yea I think windmill stretches sounds good. Get a break and do some stretching. I'm assuming if you do them enough it could be considered cardio as well.
