Type: Dynamic, Glute Isolation
Primary Muscles: Glutes (Gluteus Maximus)
Secondary Muscles: Hamstrings, Core
Exercise Key Form:
1. Start on all fours, hands under shoulders and knees under hips.
2. Keeping your knee bent, lift one leg up and back, squeezing your glute at the top.
3. Lower the leg back down with control.
4. Repeat for reps, then switch sides.
NASM-CPT Tip: Engage your core and avoid arching your back—focus on squeezing the glute at the top.
Why This Exercise Is Important: Isolates and strengthens the glutes, improves hip extension, and supports lower back health—perfect for building a peachy posterior.
