About

Because you use a cable, this exercise provides continuous tension to your muscles. It helps develop your gluteus maximus and hamstrings!

How to Cable Hip Extension

Starting Position

1. Please adjust the height of the cable to the lowest setting.

2. Please hold the cable pole with both hands to maintain balance.

Proper Form

1. Raise your leg back as far as your flexibility allows.

2. Lower your leg and return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your legs, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

1. Engage your core so that your upper body does not sway.

2. Be careful not to excessively arch your lower back (lumbar spine) by trying to lift your leg too high. If you feel lower back pain, reduce the cable weight by about 20% and continue.
