Start in a plank position with your legs wider than hip distance; the wider stance makes you more stable. Hold on to your dumbbells, keeping your wrist locked to protect the joint.
With your core tight and your glutes engaged, exhale, stabilizing your torso as you lift your left elbow to row; feel your left shoulder blade sliding toward your spine as you bend your elbow up toward the ceiling.
Keeping your neck long and energized, return the weight to the ground, then repeat the movement on your right side. This completes one rep.
