Exercise Profile

Resistance Band Bent-over Kickback Overview

The resistance band bent-over kickback workout is a targeted exercise that focuses on the glutes.

The resistance band is looped around the ankles, adding resistance to the movement and intensifying the glute activation.

By keeping the core engaged and kicking the leg back, the resistance band helps to isolate and strengthen the glute muscles.

Resistance Band Bent-over Kickback Tips

  1. Choose a resistance band that provides enough tension to challenge your glutes, but allows you to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
  2. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, hinge at the hips, and keep your back straight throughout the movement.
  3. Engage your glutes by squeezing them at the top of the movement, focusing on the mind-muscle connection.
  4. Keep your elbows tucked in close to your sides and your upper arms parallel to the floor to target the glutes effectively.
  5. Control the movement by slowly extending your leg back, maintaining tension in the resistance band, and avoiding any swinging or jerking motions.
  6. Perform the exercise in a slow and controlled manner, focusing on the contraction of your glutes at the top of the movement.
