Single Leg Cable Kickback

BeginnerCable

The single leg cable kickback isolates one glute at a time using a low cable for smooth, constant tension. The cable keeps the muscle loaded through the full range, giving an edge over bodyweight kickbacks. It also brings in the hamstrings, sharpening lower-body strength and shape.

How to do it

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Face 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 slightly bent, squeeze your glute to press the leg back behind you.

  5. 5

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