1One-Arm Dumbbell Row (works the back and biceps)

ILLUSTRATIONS: GRACE CRUZ

Put your left hand and left knee on a flat bench or sofa, planting your right foot firmly on the floor. Your torso should be parallel to the ground and your lower back slightly arched. Hold a dumbbell in your right hand with your palm toward you, and let it hang by your side. Keeping your elbow close to your body, pull the dumbbell upward and back until it touches your hip. Make sure your back remains tight throughout the move. Feel a contraction in your upper back muscles and then reverse direction, slowly returning to the start position. After completing all your repetitions with the right arm, repeat on the other side.
