Cable Leg Kickback
Attach an ankle strap to the lower cable pulley of a cable machine.
Stand a couple feet back from the weight stack facing away from the machine. Position yourself sideways so one hip faces the machine.
Bend the knee of your leg closest to the machine and step that foot slightly forward to stabilize your stance. Extend your other leg straight back behind you and rest your toes on the ground for balance.
Keeping a slight bend in the standing leg, pull the ankle strap attachment toward your hips by lifting your back leg straight up behind you as high as you can. Focus on squeezing your glutes and hamstrings. The motion should resemble kicking your leg back.
Slowly lower your leg back to the start position under control. Keep tension on the working leg during the entire movement.
Repeat for the desired number of reps on one side then switch legs to complete the set on both sides.
