About

This full-body exercise works your shoulders, back, and legs.

How to Ski Row

Starting Position

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand by your sides. Slightly bend your knees and lean your upper body forward a bit.

Proper Form

Push your hips back while leaning your upper body forward, and as if swinging your arms back, push the dumbbells back. Then, straighten your upper body and return your arms to the starting position in front. Repeat rhythmically as if skiing.

Breathing Technique

Exhale while moving backward, and inhale as you come forward.

Precautions

Do not excessively bend or arch your back; maintain a neutral spine. Control the weights with your muscles rather than swinging the dumbbells.
