Well its very easy to loop through the rows in sql procedure u just need to use cursor, i am giving you an example here, for it let us consider a table Employee with column NAME and AGE with 50 records into it and u have to execute a stored procedure say TESTPROC which will take name and age parameters of each row.

create procedure CursorProc
as
begin
   declare @count bigint;
   declare @age varchar(500)
   declare @name varchar(500)
   select @count = (select count(*) from employee)
   declare FirstCursor cursor for select name, age from employee
   open FirstCursor 
   while @count > 0
      begin
         fetch FirstCursor into @name, @age
         Exec TestProc @name, @age
         set @count = @count - 1
      end
   close FirstCursor 
   deallocate FirstCursor 
end

Make sure you deallocate the cursor to avoid errors.
