1. Attach an ankle strap to the low pulley of a cable machine and wrap the strap around one ankle.
2. Stand facing the cable machine with feet shoulder-width apart for balance, holding onto the machine for support.
3. Bend forward slightly at your hips, and brace your core to maintain stability throughout the exercise.
4. Keeping your knee slightly bent, kick the strapped leg straight back as far as you can go without arching your back, focusing on contracting your glutes.
5. Slowly return your leg to the starting position, maintaining tension on the cable.
6. Repeat the desired number of repetitions before switching the strap to the opposite ankle to work the other leg.
Tips: Keep your movements controlled to avoid any swinging or use of momentum. Only move your working leg; your torso should remain stationary throughout the exercise. Adjust the weight to a level that is challenging but still allows you to keep the proper form.
