Standing Glute Kickbacks Left

Muscles worked: Legs · Also: Glutes & Hips

Standing Glute Kickbacks Left work the left glute from standing: holding support if needed, you extend the left leg back behind you and squeeze the glute at the end of the range.

Stand tall, keep a soft bend in the standing knee, and extend the leg straight back without leaning forward. The squeeze at the back matters more than how high the leg goes.

How to do it

1. Stand tall, holding support if needed, with a soft bend in your standing knee.
2. Extend your left leg straight back behind you.
3. Squeeze your glute at the end of the range.
4. Return with control, without leaning forward.
5. The squeeze at the back matters more than how high the leg goes.
