Slowly bring your arms forward so that they meet in front of your chest, keeping them straight and parallel to the floor.
Squeeze your chest muscles as you bring the levers together, and hold this position for a second.
Gradually release and move your arms back to the starting position, ensuring to maintain the same level of height.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your movements controlled and your core engaged throughout.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movements**: Avoid rushing through the movements; instead, focus on controlled, steady movements. This will help engage the correct muscles and prevent injuries.
