1. Starting Position:
- Stand side-on to the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Adjust the cable height to the lowest setting.
- Grasp the handle with both hands, arms extended in front of you at about waist height.
2. Body Positioning:
- Keep your knees slightly bent and engage your core.
- Stand with your left side facing the machine for the first set.
- Your arms should be straight, but not locked, and your shoulders relaxed.
3. Movement:
- Begin the movement by twisting your torso to pull the cable diagonally across your body.
- Rotate your hips and shoulders as you pull the handle up and across your body towards your right shoulder.
- Your arms should follow the movement but remain connected to your core to maintain control.
- Ensure that you face the machine again once you reach the top of the movement.
4. Return to Start:
- Slowly reverse the movement, allowing the cable to pull your arms back to the starting position.
- Maintain control throughout and keep your core engaged.
5. Repetitions:
- Perform 10-15 repetitions on one side, then switch to the other side to work the opposite direction.
6. Tips:
- Focus on using your core muscles to control the movement rather than pulling solely with your arms.
- Keep your posture upright and avoid leaning too far forward or backward.
- Start with a lighter weight to master the movement before increasing resistance.
