Primary Muscle: Chest
Equipment: Cable
Level: Intermediate
Purpose: To target the lower part of the pectoralis major muscle.
Execution: Standing with your feet close together, grasp the handles attached to the high pulley cable and extend your arms out to either side. Keeping your body upright and a slight bend in your elbows, bring your arms forward and in together as if you are hugging a tree. Squeeze your chest as you bring your arms forward and pause for a brief second when your hands are together in front of you. Exhale as you bring your arms forward and inhale and expand your chest as you reach back.
