Floor Glute Kickback
On all fours, drive one heel toward the ceiling without arching the lower back.
How to do it
Setup
On all fours, knees under hips, hands under shoulders.
Steps
- Drive one heel toward the ceiling, knee bent 90°.
- Stop when the thigh lines up with the torso.
- Lower without the knee touching; finish the leg, switch.
Common mistakes
Lower back arching past the line: the glute's range ends there. Rocking the hips: square and still. Kicking fast: the squeeze is the rep.
Breathing
Exhale driving up, inhale lowering.
