Best Glutes Workouts With Cable Machines

Cable Hip Extension is an exercise where you attach your leg to a cable machine and extend it behind you while standing. This helps strengthen your glutes and improve balance, as the cable provides controlled resistance.

How to do it

1. Set the pulley to the lowest position and attach the ankle cuff to your right ankle.
2. Stand facing the pulley with your feet hip-width apart, holding the frame for support.
3. Engage your core and keep your back straight.
4. With a slight bend in your knee, extend your right leg behind you by squeezing your glute.
5. Return to the starting position and switch to your left leg.

The Cable Pull Through is an effective exercise that strengthens your glutes and improves your hip hinge movement. It uses a cable for steady resistance, making it easier to build muscle and enhance glute power. This is a good choice for beginners wanting to develop their lower body strength.

How to do it

1. Set the pulley to the lowest position with a rope attachment.
2. Stand with your back to the pulley, hold the rope with palms facing in, and keep your arms resting on your hips.
3. Step forward 1-2 feet from the pulley with feet wider than shoulder-width apart.
4. Engage your core, keep your back straight, and hinge your hips back while keeping your knees slightly bent.
5. Hinge until your back can no longer stay straight, then return to the starting position.
