Glute Kickback

Activate and isolate your glutes with this simple floor exercise.

Kickbacks are a simple and effective way to fire up your glutes with no equipment. Whether used in a warm-up or as part of a lower-body workout, they reinforce good glute activation.

Instructions

  1. Begin on all fours with hands under shoulders and knees under hips.
  2. Lift one leg behind you, keeping your knee bent at 90 degrees.
  3. Raise your foot toward the ceiling by squeezing your glutes at the top.
  4. Lower back to the start without resting your knee on the floor.
  5. Repeat for all reps, then switch legs.
