Push-Ups with Dumbbell Rows Guide
- Grab a dumbbell in each hand and then place the dumbbells on the floor shoulder-width apart.
- Get in the straight-arm plank position and keep your shoulders, hips, and knees aligned in a straight line.
- Bend your elbows and lower your chest to perform a push-up.
- As you rise to return to starting position, lift one dumbbell off the floor and pull it towards your ribcage. In the next rep, pull the opposite dumbbell and keep alternating.
- Do as many reps as you can while maintaining proper form.
Trainer’s Tips
- Keep your ab and butt muscles tight throughout to prevent your hips from sinking.
- Remember to breathe correctly. Inhale as you lower your body to the ground and exhale as you raise up.
- Keep your neck and spine aligned. “Instead of tucking your chin completely or looking straight out in front, gaze about six inches or so in front of your fingertips and keep your eyes focused there as you push up.
- Keep your wrist firm to keep the dumbbell stable.
