Renegade Rows - Best Total Upper Body Exerciseby Monica The renegade row is an awesome total upper body exercise that works the upper and lower back, shoulders, plus the entire ab area. If you add a push-up, it also works the chest and triceps. Renegade rows are like plank rotations, push-ups, and dumbbell rows all rolled into one and they burn tons of calories and fat. This is a great exercise to add to any of your fatloss workouts, bootcamp workouts, or quick workouts because it's so effective for fatloss, endurance, strength, and core stability. It's definitely for the more intermediate to advanced and for people who already have pretty good core stability and upper body strength. Beginners don't get discouraged. You can work up to this by combining planks, pushups, and single leg rows into a circuit. Once you can do four rounds with great form then you're ready for this challenging exercise. You can perform renegade rows with dumbbells, kettlebells, and my new favorite sandbells. Watch the video below for some great tips. This exercise is part of the new upper body bootcamp workout (video coming next week). Here's a sneak peak at the first circuit. 15 trx bodyweight rows 10 regular pushups 10 alternating sandbell renegade rows Check back for more versions of the renegade row or add your favorite below.
