GLUTES

Straight Leg Kickback

BeginnerBodyweight

The straight leg kickback is a bodyweight glute isolation done on all fours. Extending one leg behind you and lifting it up keeps constant tension on the glute and hamstring through a short range. It's a simple way to target the glutes without any equipment.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Get on all fours with hands under your shoulders and one knee under its hip.

  2. 2

    Extend the opposite leg straight back so it rests on the floor behind you.

  3. 3

    Keeping the leg straight, raise it toward the ceiling and squeeze the glute at the top.

  4. 4

    Keep your hips square to the floor rather than twisting to lift higher.

  5. 5

    Lower the foot back toward the ground and repeat for your reps, then switch sides.
