Alternating Cable Standing Chest Fly

1. Setup:
- Adjust the pulleys on the cable machine to shoulder height.
- Stand in the center of the machine, facing away from the pulleys.

2. Positioning:
- Grab the right cable handle with your right hand and the left cable handle with your left hand.
- Step back slightly to create tension in the cables.
- Position your feet shoulder-width apart and slightly bend your knees for balance.
- Keep your core engaged and maintain a slight bend in your elbows.

3. Starting Position:
- Stand upright with your arms extended out to the sides at shoulder height.
- Your palms should be facing forward, and your elbows should be slightly bent.

4. Movement:
- From the starting position, pull the right cable handle in front of your chest while simultaneously moving the left cable handle out to the side.
- Focus on squeezing your chest muscles as you bring the right handle toward your left shoulder.
- Hold for a moment at the peak of the movement.

5. Return to Starting Position:
- Slowly reverse the movement to return to the starting position, allowing the left cable handle to come back to shoulder height.
- Keep your movements controlled and steady.

6. Repetition:
- Repeat the movement on the opposite side, pulling the left cable handle in front of your chest while the right returns to the starting position.
- Perform 10-15 repetitions on each side, maintaining proper form throughout.

7. Tips:
- Ensure that you are using a manageable weight to maintain control throughout the exercise.
- Keep your shoulders down and relaxed to avoid tension in your neck.
- Focus on smooth, controlled movements rather than rushing through the repetitions.

8. Breathing:
- Inhale while returning to the starting position and exhale as you pull the cable across your body.
