Description: Stand between two shoulder-height pulleys, facing away from the machine. Grasp a stirrup (handle) in each hand and step forward into a staggered stance, one foot in front of the other. Position the stirrups beside your chest and raise your elbows so that they point out to the sides but not higher than your shoulders. Keeping your body upright, exhale as you press the stirrups forward and inward until your arms are straight, and your shoulders are stretched forward. Hold the position for a count of two and squeeze your chest muscles. Inhale as you reverse the motion, bringing the handles back until you feel a mild stretch in your chest. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
