How to do it

  1. Set the seat so your upper arms are level with your shoulders, then pick a weight.
  2. Sit with your back flat on the pad and hold the handles with a slight bend in your elbows.
  3. Slowly bring the handles together in front of your chest and squeeze for a moment.
  4. Open your arms slowly until you feel a stretch in your chest, then repeat.

Beginner tip: Keep a soft bend in your elbows and move slowly in both directions.
