Resistance Band Seated Row

The resistance band seated row replicates the cable row for home and travel workouts. Loop a band around your feet, sit on the floor with legs extended, and row the band to your torso.

How to Perform

1

Sit on the floor with legs extended and loop the band around both feet at the arches.

2

Grab both ends of the band with a neutral grip, arms fully extended forward.

3

Row the band to your lower ribs, driving your elbows straight back.

4

Squeeze your shoulder blades together for a one-count, then extend arms slowly.

5

Sit tall with chest up — do not round your upper back forward.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Rounding the upper back and shoulders forward, which reduces mid-back engagement.

Pulling with the arms only instead of initiating the movement with the shoulder blades.

Using a band that is too light, making the exercise feel easy and unproductive.
