Woodchop High to Low
Dallas Personal Trainer - This is another favorite of almost every Dallas Personal Trainer who is into the functional exercise trend. It is a very useful and truly functional exercise if it is performed perfectly correctly.
Using a cable machine, set the cable at a level just above the top of your head when you are standing upright. Attach the rope handle that is used for Rope Pushdowns. Stand a few feet away from the machine, facing sideways and grasp one side of the rope with each hand. Pull the rope downward and to the opposite side of your body as you rotate and bend your torso. Fully extend your arms at the end of the movement so that your hands end up just to the outside of your foot on the opposite side of your body from where the rope started.
This exercise should be performed for the number of reps that your personal training program indicates with the cable machine on one side of your body and then you will turn the other way and perform the specified number of reps for the other side.
