The Amazing Stickie and Single Leg Deadlift Rows






The Amazing Stickie loves a challenge.  Today she is working her upper body while also working on balance by doing single leg deadlift rows.

She begins in the single leg deadlift position:  she stands on one leg with her other leg stretched out behind her parallel to the floor while her torso is also parallel to the floor.  She has a pair of fairly light dumbbells in her hands, which are hanging down to the floor.

 

Keeping the rest of her body still, Stickie bends her elbows and lifts the dumbbells toward her armpits.  She feels her shoulder blades move together toward the center of her back.  Then she lowers the dumbbells back to their starting position.  She keeps her abdominals engaged the entire time because they keep her from falling over.

 

Sets of five on a side are a good place to start.
