One-A-Day: Rows

Hey everyone,

For our second of the 'One-A-Day' workouts, we focused on rows (i.e. horizontal pulling movement).  Rows are great for building your back muscles (e.g. lats and rhomboids).  Several muscle groups assist this movement, including your biceps, shoulders, and core muscles.


For our row workout, we picked five different variations and performed three sets of each (15 sets total).  We did not time our rest periods, but tried to minimize rest between sets, without compromising our strength/recovery.  Here's what we did:

  1. Alternating kettlebell rows
  2. One arm kettlebell rows (using a bench to brace your body)
  3. Renegade rows (with two kettlebells)
  4. Incline bench rows (with two kettlebells)
  5. Reverse pushups
Alternating Kettlebell Rows


One Arm Kettlebell Rows


Renegade Rows


Incline Bench Rows


Reverse Pushups

Overall, we were pleased with this workout.  We moved through it at a decent pace, but found some of the exercises challenging (e.g. renegade rows - it was our first time trying these with two kettlebells, which significantly improved the exercise).  So far, we are really enjoying the 'One-A-Day' workouts.  Stay tuned for more of them!
