One Legged Cable Kickback
An isolation exercise targeting the glutes using a cable machine for resistance.
Instructions
- Attach a strap to the low pulley of the cable machine and secure it around one ankle.
- Stand facing the machine and hold on to it for support.
- With a slight bend in your standing leg, extend your strapped leg straight back and slightly upward.
- Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement.
- Slowly return your leg to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps and switch legs.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Arching the lower back instead of engaging the core.
- Using momentum instead of controlled movements.
- Not squeezing the glutes at the top of the movement.
- Allowing the knee of the working leg to bend excessively.
