Trainer Tip – Renegade Row

If you are looking for an exercise that really challenges your core, then try adding the renegade row to your routine!  Not only is it a great core exercise, but you strengthen your back as well.  To start, grab a pair of dumbbells that are appropriate for your strength level (I recommend 8-10 lbs if you are a beginner), and put them roughly shoulder width apart from each other on the ground.  Grip the dumbbells and get in plank position just like you are about to do a push-up.  From there, pull one elbow up as high as you can to where the dumbbell finishes at the bottom of the chest while the other dumbbell stays on the ground.  The goal is to keep your body as still as possible throughout the exercise, except for the arm that is moving.  If you find this is too challenging, try spreading your feet out wider or go to your knees.  Try 3 sets of 10 reps on each arm in your next workout!
