- What muscles does the Cable One-Arm Incline Fly on Exercise Ball work?
- This exercise primarily targets the chest muscles, especially the pectoralis major. It also engages the shoulders, abs, and forearms for stability and control, making it a great compound movement for upper body and core strength.
- What equipment do I need for the Cable One-Arm Incline Fly on Exercise Ball?
- You’ll need an exercise ball and a cable machine with a low pulley handle attachment. If you don’t have access to a cable machine, you can use resistance bands anchored low for a similar motion.
- Is the Cable One-Arm Incline Fly on Exercise Ball suitable for beginners?
- Beginners can perform this exercise, but it’s best to start with lighter weights to master balance and form. Because the exercise ball requires core engagement, a basic level of stability and control is important before increasing resistance.
- What are common mistakes to avoid when doing this exercise?
- Avoid locking your elbow or swinging your arm too quickly, as this can strain the joints. Make sure your feet stay firmly planted and your core is engaged to prevent losing balance on the exercise ball.
- How many sets and reps should I do for best results?
- For strength and muscle growth, aim for 3–4 sets of 8–12 controlled reps per side. If your goal is endurance or toning, lighter weight and 12–15 reps may be more appropriate.
- What safety tips should I follow for the Cable One-Arm Incline Fly on Exercise Ball?
- Ensure the exercise ball is properly inflated and stable before starting. Keep your core tight, avoid leaning too far back, and choose a weight you can control through the entire range of motion.
- Are there variations or modifications for this exercise?
- You can perform the same movement using both arms for a bilateral incline fly or switch the exercise ball for a bench if balance is an issue. Adjusting cable height or using resistance bands can also change the difficulty and muscle emphasis.
