Learn how to perform an Upright Row exercise with the team at Fitness Institute and strengthen the shoulder and trapezius muscles

To begin, take an even grip on the bar with the arms fully extended. Place feet roughly shoulder width apart with toes pointing forward (Figure 1).

Flex the elbows, bringing the bar up to the clavicle (Figure 2). Elbows should be pointing out to the sides, not upwards.

Pause, then allow the bar to return to the start position.

Remember to seek the advice of your fitness trainer, medical and/or allied health professionals, if you are new to exercise or have an injury or medical condition to consider.
