1 - Attach an ankle cuff to the low pulley of a cable machine and secure it around one ankle.
2 - Stand facing the cable machine, holding the frame or handles for support, with a slight bend in your standing knee.
3 - Engage your core and maintain a slight forward lean in your torso to keep your back neutral.
4 - Keeping your leg straight (or with a slight bend at the knee), squeeze your glute and kick your cuffed leg back and upward in a controlled arc until your hip is in full extension.
5 - Hold the peak contracted position for a brief moment, ensuring maximum glute activation.
6 - Slowly lower your leg back to the starting position in a controlled manner, resisting the pull of the cable.
7 - Complete all reps on one side before switching to the other leg.
