Seated row (band)
Sit tall on a chair, legs out. Loop a resistance band around your feet, hold both ends. Pull the band toward your low ribs, squeezing the shoulder blades. 10-12 reps × 2 sets. Counters the forward-rounded posture of late pregnancy and strengthens the upper back that holds you upright when the bump is heavy.

- ✓Elbows track close to the body — not out to the sides
- ✓Squeeze shoulder blades DOWN and BACK at the end of each pull
- ✓Sit tall — back stays neutral, no leaning to use momentum
Erreurs courantes
- ×Pulling with the biceps (curling) instead of the back
