 2.Bent-Over Rows: - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, hinge at the hips, and keep your back straight. - Hold weights in both hands and pull them towards your hips while squeezing your shoulder blades together. - Lower the weights back down.

 3.Bird-Dog:  Start on all fours (hands under shoulders, knees under hips). - Extend your right arm forwardand left leg back simultaneously, keeping your hips level. - Hold briefly, then switch sides.

 4.Lat Pulldowns: Use a cable machine with a lat pulldown bar. Grip the bar wider than shoulder-width, pull it down to your chest while leaning back slightly. - Slowly return to the starting position

5.Plank to Upward Dog: Start in a plank position. Shift your weight forward and push through your hands to lift your chest and arch your back into upward dog.
