Instructions
Exercise <br>1. Start by attaching an ankle strap to the low pulley of a cable machine and then attaching it to your ankle.<br>2. Face the cable machine, holding onto the frame for support and balance. Stand on your non-working leg with a slight bend in the knee.<br>3. Keeping your back straight and core engaged, slowly kick the leg with the attached ankle strap back and up in a diagonal motion, focusing on contracting your glutes.<br>4. Lift your leg as high as possible without compromising your form, ensuring that the movement comes from the glutes rather than your lower back.<br>5. Slowly return your leg to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the descent.<br>6. Perform the desired number of repetitions and then switch legs.<br><br>Tips:**<br>- Prevent excessive arching of your lower back as you perform the kickback by keeping your core muscles tight.<br>- Move in a controlled manner without using momentum to ensure tension remains on the glute muscles.<br>- Adjust the weight to an appropriate level where you can complete each repetition with good form but still challenge your muscles.
