How to…Glute kickback, step-by-step, 2025 July

Glute kickbacks primarily target the gluteal muscles, but also engage several supporting muscle groups for stabilization and movement control.

🔑 Main Muscles Worked:
1. Gluteus Maximus (primary mover)
• The largest buttock muscle, responsible for hip extension — the main motion of the kickback.
2. Gluteus Medius & Gluteus Minimus
• Assist with hip stabilization and abduction during the movement, especially if you’re standing on one leg or using a cable or resistance band.
3. Hamstrings (Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus)
• Help with hip extension and assist the glutes in the backward movement.

⸻

🧍‍♀️ Stabilizing Muscles Activated:
1. Core Muscles (Rectus Abdominis, Transverse Abdominis, Obliques)
• Keep your torso stable and spine aligned throughout the movement.
2. Erector Spinae (Lower Back)
• Maintain posture and prevent spinal flexion during the kickback.
3. Quadriceps (on the standing leg)
• Help stabilize the knee and maintain balance.

✅ When performed correctly, glute kickbacks help:
• Isolate and strengthen the glutes
• Improve hip mobility
• Enhance athletic performance and aesthetics
