Are you looking to take your glute workout to the next level? Join bikini athlete Donna in incorporating the bench supported cable hip abduction exercise into your routine. This targeted exercise not only strengthens your glutes but also engages your core for better stability through your hips and low back, for an even more enhanced feel and isolated tension in your glutes.
To begin, set up a bench at a high incline, approximately 70 degrees, creating a stable support for the exercise. In the video below, Donna demonstrates using either her elbow against the top of the bench to stay locked in and supported throughout the movement. This positioning not only aids in maintaining proper form but also enhances abdominal contraction, preventing overextension of the lumbar spine and excessive anterior pelvic tilt, common in other exercises like standing cable kickbacks.
As Donna takes the lead, the movement involves kicking back at a 45-degree angle while slightly turning the toe out at the top of the motion. This specific angle targets the upper glute muscles, sculpting the desired “booty shelf” for a well-rounded glute workout.
For this exercise, the use of Team EPT cable ankle cuffs is recommended to optimize your performance. These specialized ankle cuffs provide the necessary support and comfort during the exercise, ensuring a smooth and effective workout session. Give them a try and experience the benefits for yourself – your glutes will thank you later!
