Love this exercise for lifting the booty! Learn how to do a proper glute kickback to build and sculpt your butt!
Simple tips to remember…
- Hook a leather ankle cuff to a low cable pulley and then attach the cuff to your ankle.
- Face the weight stack from a distance of about two feet, grasping the steel frame for support.
While keeping your knees and hips bent slightly and your abs tight, contract your glutes to slowly “kick” the working leg back as high as it will comfortably, go as you breathe out. At full extension, squeeze your glutes and hold for a second. - Slowly resist and bring your working leg back to starting position.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions. To build your glutes work in a 8-12 reps range and to shape aim for 15-20 reps.
- Switch legs and repeat the movement for the other side.
Variations: You can perform this exercise with exercise bands.
