Position your feet shoulder-width apart for balance.
Slightly bend your knees and engage your core.
Initial Movement:
Pull the handles back slightly so your arms are bent at about a 90-degree angle at the elbows, keeping them in close to your body.
Your elbows should be at about shoulder height, and your wrists should be straight.
Execution:

Focus on engaging your serratus muscles, which are located on the side of your rib cage.
Extend the movement until your arms are nearly straight but not locked.

Slowly reverse the movement, bringing the handles back to the starting position while maintaining control.
Keep your elbows close to your body throughout the motion.
Repetitions:
Perform 10-15 repetitions for 2-3 sets, resting for 30-60 seconds between sets.
