>Attach a handle to an adjustable cable pulley machine positioned at its lowest setting and load 3 to 5 pounds on the stack.

> Lie on your left side facing the machine so your chest is even with the handle. Get into side plank position with your feet stacked and your left forearm on the floor, elbow aligned under shoulder and palm facing up. Hold the handle with right hand, arm extended at chest height in front of you.
