How to perform

Attach an ankle strap to a cable machine, then loop it around your ankle. Add the desired amount of weight to the machine. Stand with feet together and lean forward slightly, keeping your back flat and core engaged throughout the entire movement. Squeeze the glute to activate the muscle, then lift the leg attached to the machine back behind the body with control. Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower back to the starting position with control.

Tips

Start with light weight to keep glutes doing the work. Avoid using body momentum to lift the leg. Keep back neutral to prevent lower back strain.
