GLUTES

Single Leg Kickback

BeginnerBodyweight

A bodyweight kickback done on all fours that mainly targets the glutes. Extending one hip at a time lets you feel out and correct mobility or strength gaps between sides. It's a beginner-friendly way to learn glute activation without any equipment.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Get on all fours with your hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips, bent to 90 degrees.

  2. 2

    Brace your core to keep a neutral spine.

  3. 3

    Keeping the ankle bent, extend one hip by squeezing that glute to lift the foot toward the ceiling.

  4. 4

    Raise until the hamstring lines up with your back, holding the 90-degree knee bend, and squeeze briefly at the top.

  5. 5

    Lower back to the start and repeat, keeping your hips square to the floor, then switch sides.
