Gluteus Maximus Exercise: Cable Kick Backs

Another great move to target the gluteus maximus (buttocks) muscles is the cable kick back move. For this move you will need a cable machine, but if you do not have access to one, ankle weights will do the trick. This move works your gluteus maximus muscle, while putting a bit of pressure on your hamstring muscle to a lesser degree.

To perform this move:

Before you begin, set the cable machine on the lower pulley setting to the desired weight load and strap the ankle belt around your right ankle.
Stand at the cable machine, position both feet in front of the machine and rest your arms on the bar.
As you inhale, extend your right hip and pull your right leg backward without bending the knee so that you are pulling the cable weights with your right ankle.
Exhale and return your right leg to the starting position.
Perform 10-15 repetitions with your right leg before changing to your left leg.
Complete 3-4 sets of this exercise.
