GLUTES

Cable Hip Extension

BeginnerCable

The cable hip extension attaches your ankle to a low cable and has you drive the leg back behind you against constant tension. The cable lets you control the exact direction of resistance while standing, unlike floor-based glute moves. It's a good standing option for targeting the glutes.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set a pulley to its lowest point, attach an ankle cuff, and strap it around your right ankle.

  2. 2

    Stand facing the machine with feet hip-width apart and hold the frame for support.

  3. 3

    Brace your core to keep your spine neutral.

  4. 4

    With your right leg straight and knee softly bent, squeeze your glute to press the leg back behind you.

  5. 5

    Return to the start with control, then switch to the other leg.
