Cable Kneeling High To Low Fly

exercise_detail.description
Cable flyes on knees target the chest muscles, specifically the pectoralis major, while also engaging the shoulders and triceps. This exercise is performed using a cable machine with pulleys set at a high position. Kneeling provides stability and focuses the movement on the chest by minimizing leg involvement.
exercise_detail.how_to_perform
- Position the pulleys on a cable machine at a high setting.
- Attach handles to the cables and kneel down in the center of the machine.
- Hold a handle in each hand with your arms extended out to the sides, palms facing forward.
- Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the exercise.
- Slowly bring your hands together in front of your chest in a wide arc, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows.
- Pause briefly when your hands meet, squeezing your chest muscles.
- Slowly return to the starting position, controlling the movement.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

- Ensure that your knees are comfortably positioned on a mat to avoid discomfort.
- Focus on squeezing your chest muscles at the peak of the movement for maximum engagement.
- Maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout to protect your joints.
