Coach's Tips

The standing cable fly is a chest exercise done standing up. It’s great for stretching and tightening your inner and overall chest muscles.

1. Connect the handles to both sides of the cable machine and hold them with both hands.

2. Place one foot in front and lean your body slightly forward.

3. Start with your arms slightly bent and spread them out to the sides.

1. Keep your elbows at an angle and bring both arms forward until your hands meet at the center of your chest.

2. Hold for a moment while feeling the contraction in your chest.

3. Slowly spread your arms to the sides and return to the starting position.

4. Throughout the movement, engage your core to prevent your torso from leaning back.

Exhale while bringing your arms forward, and inhale as you return to the starting position by spreading your arms.

1. Be careful not to lift weights that are too heavy as it can put a strain on your shoulders.

2. Do not fully extend your arms; keep your elbows slightly bent at all times.

3. Engage your core to prevent your lower back from arching excessively.
