Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause is working on her fitness, and her trainer just shared a slew of behind-the-scenes snippets of her workouts on Instagram that show she’s not messing around.
In the final video, Stause does single-arm dumbbell rows. She maintains a wide stance, standing on her toes while bent over with a flat back, resting one hand on a table as the other arm lifts the weight up and down. “As she extends her arm, she’s not only using her lat muscle to bring the dumbbell up, she’s also engaging her deltoid and her core to stabilize,” explains Crockett. “The icing on the cake is that her heels are elevated, meaning she’s engaging her calf muscles and hamstrings during this movement as well.”
Overall, doing strength training exercises that target several muscles at once is an effective technique, according to Matheny. “A lot of people think about strength training being separate from cardio, but when you do movements like this and use a bunch of different muscles at the same time, it’s very cardiovascularly challenging,” he says.
