Instructions

  1. Setup:

    • Adjust the cable pulley to a low position.

    • Attach a handle to the cable.

    • Lie on your back on the floor in front of the cable machine, facing away from the machine.

  2. Positioning:

    • Grasp the handle with both hands. Your arms should be extended above your head, keeping them straight.

    • Lift your legs off the ground and bend your knees at a 90-degree angle, so your feet are lifted and your thighs are perpendicular to your torso.

    • Engage your core to stabilize your body.

  3. Movement:

    • Keeping your core tight, pull the handle down towards your chest, using your arms.

    • At the same time, extend your left leg straight out, while tucking your right knee towards your chest. Your upper body should remain still.

    • Hold this position briefly, ensuring your core remains engaged.

  4. Return:

    • Slowly extend your right leg back while straightening your left leg out again.

    • Return your arms to the starting position, allowing the handle to move back up.

    • Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps, then switch legs.

  5. Tips:

    • Focus on controlled movements rather than rushing through the reps.

    • Keep your back flat on the ground; avoid arching to prevent strain.

    • Use a weight setting that challenges you without compromising form.
