This is a great exercise to develop overall core strength and balance. Use these coaching tips to ensure good form. Coaching Tips: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your shoulder facing the cable column. Attach a handle to the highest pulley position. Grasp the handle over your right shoulder with arms extended and a slight bend at the elbow. Draw your abs tight and squeeze the glutes then, without bending at the elbows, bring your arms down and across the body using your abs to initiate the movement. Focus on working your abs and obliques. Bring your hands across to your left knee and then slowly return to the start. Your arms should remain as straight as possible through the entire motion. Perform all reps on one side and then switch sides. Caution: Use a lightweight (or none) until you are comfortable with your form.
