Looking for a simple-to-execute exercise that offers great bang for the buck. Try the Dumbbell Split-Stance Row. - This movement combines Sagittal plane movement (the row) with the the need to resist rotation (transverse). - In the end you'll get a great upper back workout, core-stability challenge and even a little mobility work with the split-stance. Not bad for one exercise❗️ (Watch the Second Part of the video in the next Post) - #fitnesstips #wednesdayexercise #vitalifit #vitalifittips #exercisetips #dumbbellworkout #resultsnotexcuses
