"Anti office guy" exercise /w video instruction
Lesson time
Today I want to share an exercise - the "Inverted row" I do with a lot of personal training clients.
It trains the muscles that retract the shoulderblades and teaches awareness of the shoulder girdle. You also have to activate your core and squeeze your buttocks to keep your hips extended.
All these nice things I just mentioned are perfect for someone that's sitting a lot, because doing this exercise regularly will help with foreward runded shoulders, foreward tilting of the pelvis and glute muscles that are weak and "deactivated".
Take a look at the video

Try it out and let me know how it went!
As always: Keep calm and work out

This is great! I've been trying to strengthen my WEAK upper body in several different ways. I could set this up at my house!
Also, your examples of what NOT TO DO: Awesome. They looked like they HURT. Definitely don't wanna do that.
Thank you!
Thanks for the reply Carrie!
If you don't own a TRX or a pair of rings already i highly suggest you check amazon. The third party ones are super cheap and also durable. I've been using them twice a week for workouts for almost a year now and they're still in super good shape.
Also if you're interested in other bodyweight exercises check out my latest post where I shared a video from one of our workouts:

Take Care and have fun with trying these things out
So. I don't have rings, but did a bit of research and am going to get (with Bitcoin 😎) a set of them from Amazon for about $50 USD. Ultimate Body Press Bodyweight Resistance Trainer
They have WAY less reviews, but still a very high overall rating. If I end up loving them, we'll probably upgrade to TRX.
I'm so glad you are learning from my little lessons.
