• Start with a straight bar attachment set to the bottom of the machine. Squat the weight up into a standing position and walk a few steps back.
    Stand with a staggered stance. Push your butt back to initiate the movement and then push your butt forward until you're back in a standing position.
    To protect yourself from injury, always maintain a flat back on any exercise.
  • Use an ankle attachment. Bring a bench over to the cables. The cable should be set to hip height.
    Push your ankle straight back, extending at the hip. Hold for a one count when you feel a contraction in your glutes.
    Then flex at the hips until you are back into your original position.
  • Use an ankle attachment. Cable should be set all the way to the bottom.
    Take a quadruped position with the cable going across your planted leg.
    Abduct at the hips and raise your leg out to the side.
    Return to the starting position and stop just short of the cables touching back down (to keep tension on the muscle).
  • Use an ankle attachment. The cable should be set halfway up the crossover machine.
    Start with a bent knee position. Push your ankle straight back, extending at the hip. Hold for a one count when you feel a contraction in your glutes.
    Then flex at the hips until you are back into your original position.
