Here's the fourth video of Twin Cities In Motion's weeklong Basic Strength Jumpstart with Motion Expert Kristen Gerlach:
Why the Pull Pattern is Important
We pull things toward us in daily life all the time. The pull utilizes muscles that help keep the shoulder blades back and down, which is crucial for maintaining proper running posture, especially as you get tired. An example of a vertical pulling exercise is a pull-up or a lat pull-down. In the video series, we will be demonstrating a horizontal row and a bent-over row that can be done either with bands or dumbbells.
