3 Cable Machine Workouts for Women

If you are the kind of person who engages with all of the other gym equipment but you do not fully allow yourself to engage with the cable machine all that much, you could certainly be missing out. There are plenty of cable machine workouts for women that give you a great sense of balance within what you are doing, and the following blog post will be exploring just a few of the main options that you have in front of you in order to get the full-body workout that you are looking for. 

Before you start to do any of them, you will need to make sure that you adjust the cable machine accordingly. To begin with, select the relevant attachment—there are a few different options depending on the exercise that you are trying out. At the same time, you will also need to adjust the pulley according to what you have planned. There are some workouts that are designed for the cable to be up top; some in which it needs to be down low; and some in which it takes on a central position. You then need to start thinking about factors in a weight plate that works for you. 

So, here is some more detail about different cable machine workouts that you have the option of trying out. 

Split Squat

First up on the list, there is the split squat, which involves you placing a low box down on the floor and putting a single leg up on it. You will want to have a handle attachment in place on the rope. Once you have this in place, you can then start to bend your knees towards the floor in a typical squatting position. Keeping your right knee in line with your shoulders is certainly going to be important. As always with these types of workout, you need to switch legs to ensure that you are working out both sides. 

Cable Pull Through 

When you are using cable machines at Mirafit for this workout, you need to be facing away from the machine itself. You will then pull it through your legs while moving from a slightly squatting position to one that is more upright. You will want to do around 10 to 12 reps of this particular move in order to feel the benefits. 

Single Arm Chest Press 

The final exercise is a chest press that is done with a single arm, and the cable needs to be at shoulder height. First of all, hold the handle with your left hand and brace your core until you have fully extended your arm. As with the split squat, be sure to swap sides so that you work both sides of the body equally. 

All of these are very achievable cable workouts for women that are certainly going to be worth trying out and engaging with for yourself; and because they are relatively straightforward, they can also be carried out without needing much instruction.
