A seated row is a compound exercise that utilizes a weighted horizontal cable row machine to work the upper body muscles. The seated row works the muscles in the back and the arms. Cable machines include a bench for comfortable seating with footplates to brace yourself against as you pull the weighted cable and perform the seated row.

A low row is usually done on a seated row machine., also known as seated cable row machine. This is a horizontal cable machine with weights that you can adjust according to your fitness level. The weights are attached to a pulley with two over hand grip options. You sit on the bench in front of it, then pull the weights toward you.

The proper form for a seated row on a machine involves sitting upright on the machine, knees slightly bent without curling your lower back. You should brace and engage your abdominal muscles and keep your core tight as you perform the exercise.

Sit on the bench with your knees bent and grasp the cable attachment (often a triangle handle or a bar). Then position yourself with your knees slightly bent, grabbing the handle with your arms. Without curling the lower back over, brace the abdominals and slowly begin to row.

To do a seated row with a resistance band: Sit on the floor, legs together in front of you. Bend your knees slightly. Place the band around the soles of your feet and hold the ends, palms facing inward. Brace your core. Exhale and pull the band until your hands are over your thighs, keeping your elbows tucked in and your back neutral.
