Instructions

1. Begin by setting the cable machine to the lowest position and attaching a suitable handle.

2. Stand facing away from the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart. Pick up the handle with both hands and hold it against your chest, keeping your elbows pointed downward. This is your starting position.

3. Brace your core and keep your chest up as you begin to lower your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if you are sitting down into a chair. Ensure that you maintain the weight through your heels and do not let your knees collapse inward.

4. Lower yourself down until your thighs are parallel to the floor, keeping the cable tension constant throughout the movement.

5. Press through your heels and extend your hips and knees to return to the starting position.

6. Keep your movements controlled, especially when returning to the starting position to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury.

7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Note: Before performing this exercise, ensure the weight is suitable for your fitness level. It's vital to maintain proper form to prevent strain or injury. If you are new to this exercise, it may be helpful to have a trainer or experienced individual check your form.
