Instructions

Start by placing an exercise ball on the ground and a cable machine with a handle attachment at the lowest setting on one side of the ball.
Position yourself on the ball with your head, upper back, and hips in contact with the ball. Your feet should be firmly planted on the ground and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
Grab the handle attachment with one hand and extend your arm straight out to the side, parallel to the ground. This is your starting position.
Keeping your arm slightly bent at the elbow, slowly lower the handle attachment in a semicircular motion until your arm is level with your torso and your chest muscles are stretched.
Pause for a brief moment at the bottom of the movement and then reverse the motion, bringing your arm back to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and then switch sides, grabbing the handle attachment with the other hand and performing the same movement pattern.
Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise and focus on using your chest muscles to perform the movement.
Remember to breathe consistently and maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
