Bodyweight Glute Kickback
The bodyweight glute kickback isolates the glutes using nothing but your own body. From an all-fours position, extend one leg straight back and squeeze the glute at the top before returning to start.
How to Perform
Start on all fours with wrists under shoulders and knees under hips.
Extend one leg straight back, squeezing the glute hard at the top.
Keep your hips level — avoid rotating or arching your lower back.
Lower the leg with control and tap the knee before the next rep.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Hyperextending the lower back instead of using the glute to lift the leg.
Rotating the hips open to cheat extra range of motion.
Rushing the reps and losing the mind-muscle connection.
