CORE: "Partner Ankle Cross Back Row"


Directions: Perform Dynamic Warm-Up exercises at “beginning” of workout
for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your body!

 [Photos To be posted]

  1. One partner lies on back on ground with rigid body.

  2. Other partner gets in split stance over the down partner's ankles and lower legs.

  3. Top partner leans over at 45° angle then grabs ankles with one hand and pulls down partner's lower body up and off ground.

  4. Top partner does not engage their legs when rowing--it's all arm and back.

Exercise Figure Tips: Make sure top partner leans over far enough to engage the back muscles. Bottom partner must maintain straight body with strong core while being lifted.

  • This is also a great core stability exercise for the bottom partner as they must maintain a plank position during the lift.

*Note: This exercise is intended for "normal healthy" individuals.  If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical therapist before continuing your exercises.
