Adjust both cables to be at shoulder height. Hold both handles so that your palms are facing inwards and step forward to keep one leg in front the other for stability. Start with your elbows slightly bent in line with the shoulders.

Push your hands together in wide arcs until they almost reach each other, then slowly retract back the same path to the starting position. Your hands path should remain below the lower chest during the movement. Brace your core to keep a straight torso throughout. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.

Avoid allowing the elbows to come too far behind the shoulders.
