  4. Using your leg muscles, push up through your heels and extend your arms straight out in front of you.

  6. Slowly return to the starting position by bending your knees and bringing your arms back to your chest.

Pulley Lawnmower Tips

  1. Start by adjusting the pulley to chest height and stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Hold the handle with both hands, palms facing down, and keep your arms extended in front of you.
  3. Engage your upper back muscles by pulling the handle towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  4. To target your obliques, rotate your torso to one side while pulling the handle towards your opposite hip.
  5. Keep your core tight throughout the exercise to maintain stability and prevent strain on your lower back.
  6. Control the movement as you slowly release the handle back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of reps.
