One-legged Cable Kickback

For the one-legged cable kickback, attach an ankle cuff to a low cable pulley and attach the cuff to your ankle. Face the weight stack from a distance of about two feet, grasping the frame for support. While keeping your knees and hips bent slightly and your abs tight, contract your glutes to slowly kick the working leg back in a semicircular arc as high as it will comfortably go as you breathe out. Return to the starting position as you breathe in. This exercise targets the gluteus muscles.
