Cable Hip Extension

Attach an ankle cuff to a low cable and clip it around one ankle, facing the machine with both hands on the frame for balance. Stand tall with a slight bend in your support knee, then drive the cable leg straight back behind you, squeezing through your glute at the end rather than arching your lower back to add range. Keep your torso still, the movement happens at the hip, not by leaning forward as you kick back. Return with control instead of letting the cable snap your leg forward. Switch legs once you have completed one side, keeping the same tempo and range on both.
