How to do the renegade dumbbell rows exercise, a full body exercise, text description and my video demonstration.
This exercise provides you with a total body workout. Great if you don't have a lot of workout time or if you want to work out a group of muscles with just 1 exercise. It's primary focus are your back muscles - particularly the lats, but this exercise also works your abs, arms, glutes and legs. Plus, it will give you a good strength training and cardio workout. It's a very tough exercise because it requires both strength and balance for stability. When done properly, you will get a good workout of your core.
