How to do it

1. Begin in a high plank position with your hands gripping a dumbbell each on the floor, directly under your shoulders, and your body forming a straight line from head to heels. Your feet should be slightly wider than hip-width apart for stability.
2. Keeping your core tight, lift the right dumbbell off the floor, rowing it towards your right hip while balancing on your left hand and feet.
3. Lower the dumbbell back to the floor with control, returning to the high plank position.
4. Repeat the rowing motion with your left hand, alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Keep your hips level and avoid rotating your body as you row.
• Maintain a straight line from head to heels throughout the exercise.
• Use a weight that allows you to maintain proper form without compromising balance.
