    How to: Pulse Row

    1. Begin in a plank position with your body straight.
    2. Row one arm back towards your hip while stabilizing your body with the opposite arm.
    3. Lower your arm back to the starting position and switch sides.

    Common Mistakes

    • Arching the back instead of keeping it flat.
    • Not fully engaging the back muscles.
    • Using momentum rather than controlled movement.

    Modifications

    • Perform the exercise with a reduced range of motion if needed.
    • Use a resistance band for added support.

    Tips

    • Maintain a straight back throughout the movement to avoid injuries.
    • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement.
