About

It's a workout that develops whole body muscles by moving up, down, left and right. You have to keep your abs tightened to prevent injuries when moving your arms!

How to Cable Woodchopper

Starting Position

1. Hold one end of the cable above and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Slightly bend your knees and grab the handle with both hands.

Proper Form

1. Pull diagonally downwards as if chopping a tree from top to bottom.

2. Rotate the pelvis and upper body together, and slowly return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pulling the cable, and inhale when returning.

Precautions

1. Don't just twist your waist; rotate with your core and hips.

2. Proceed with a manageable weight that you can control without momentum.
