Steps
Step 1: Stand upright facing the TRX anchor, keeping feet shoulder width apart, and holding onto the TRX handles.
Step 2: Bring your feet in closer to the anchor point, so you are now leaning back at around 45 degrees.
Step 3: From this leaned back position, proceed to squat down towards the floor; arms are extending, yet avoid rounding of the back.
Step 4: From the squat position, proceed to come back up while rowing. Your body is now in a straight spine, still leaning back; your hands end up by your rib cage, and you are engaging your back muscles.
Step 5: Repeat this movement several times.
How to progress the exercise
A hop can be added in this movement to further progress this exercise. Also wearing a weighted vest can add more resistance to the movement will be more challenging. For an added balance challenge, place a BOSU under the standing foot.
Additional Information
Proper alignment of the hip, knees, and toes is important for proper exercise execution and the health of your knee and hips joints.
