Cable Fly

CABLE FLY

The cable fly is a strengthening exercise that targets the chest. This exercise can be completed with a cable pulley system, functional trainer, or bands. Step up a cable pulley machine to roughly chest height. During this exercise you will be facing away from the cable machine with a cable in each hand. Keep a slight bend in the elbows for increased comfort. Squeeze your chest by pulling your arms together in front of you. Slowly lower the weight by spreading your arms outwards while keeping them in line with your mid chest horizontally. Lead the movement by pulling forwards through your elbows
