Build Stronger Glutes with Marlon’s Glute Kickback
Trainer Marlon is in the gym demonstrating the glute kickback, a great exercise for strengthening and sculpting the glutes while improving lower-body stability and control. This move is perfect for targeting the glute muscles without adding excessive strain on the lower back or knees.
How to Perform the Glute Kickback: Start on All Fours: Position yourself on the floor with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Keep your back straight and core engaged. Lift Your Leg: Keeping your knee bent at 90 degrees, slowly lift one leg upward, pushing through your heel. Squeeze at the Top: Engage your glutes as you extend your leg, ensuring your hips remain square to the ground. Lower with Control: Bring your knee back down without touching the floor, maintaining tension in your glutes. Repeat: Perform for the desired number of reps, then switch legs.
Why It’s Effective: The glute kickback isolates the gluteus maximus, helping to build strength, shape, and definition in the glutes. It also improves hip mobility and stability, making it a great exercise for athletes and those looking to enhance lower-body function.
Pro Tip from Marlon: Avoid arching your lower back—keep your core tight to ensure proper form. For an added challenge, use ankle weights or a resistance band to increase resistance. Watch Marlon’s video to perfect your glute kickback form and start building stronger, more defined glutes today!
