How to perform
To perform Cable Low Fly, follow these steps:1. Start by adjusting the pulleys on a cable machine to the lowest position and attaching a D-handle to each side.
2. Stand in the middle of the cable machine, facing away from the machine, with one D-handle in each hand.
3. Take a step forward with one foot to create tension in the cables.
4. Stand with a slight bend in your elbows and your palms facing each other.
5. Keeping your core engaged and your chest up, slowly bring your hands together in front of you in a hugging motion.
6. Pause at the bottom of the movement, feeling a stretch in your chest muscles.
7. Slowly return to the starting position, keeping a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
8. Perform the desired number of reps, then switch sides and repeat.
It's important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid injury and maximize results. Start with a light weight to ensure you are performing the movement correctly before increasing the weight.
