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