Circuit One: Wood Chop

  • Attach the double-rope handle onto the cable. Set the weight to 15 to 25 pounds.
  • Stand your left side toward the machine, about two feet from it. Grab the handle and open your feet to a stable and wide stance.
  • Rotate your torso to pull cable down to the outside of your right knee while simultaneously bending it. Imagine you're swinging an ax across your body.
  • Keep your arms straight and do not round your back.
  • Reverse the motion, controlling the weight on the cable as you return to the starting position. This completes one rep.
  • Do 10 reps on each side.
