This exercise utilizes muscles from the legs up through the core and into the upper body. It also improves coordination and is great for adding stability to the core.

Stand with your feet a bit farther than shoulder width apart and knees slightly bent. Grab the cable handles and exhale as you reach up and across your body.

As you reach across your body, be sure to straighten out your back. Inhale as you return to the starting position. Repeat 10 times for three sets. Switch sides and repeat.

Key point: Start with slow controlled movements until you are comfortable with the exercise.
