Rhombo
The Rhombo is an exercise which focuses on primarily working your rhomboids. Its strengthening our back and opens up our body and helps our posture.
It also works scapula, shoulders, core and overall body stability.
Stand with one foot in front of your body, knees slightly bent.
The other leg is stretched to the back.
Make sure to put your body into an upright position by tucking in your stomach, sticking your chest out and looking straight.
The weights and handles should be at height of your head or slightly above. The handles can either be together in the middle or apart.
If they are apart, make sure to take the left handle with your right hand and vice versa and just cross them.
Starting position is head high with elbows, forearms and hands close together holding the handle.
Bend your elbows slightly, push wide past your body so your hands are shoulder high.
Release by slowly going back into the starting position.
Inhale when releasing, exhale when pushing.
Tip: When pushing, stick your chest out so you feel more stretch and sensation in your upper back.
