It says cable can you show how to do with a cable machine please
Hi Karina, I double checked and we don't have that video. I will suggest one to my editors, but in the meantime, I am sure you can find one on YouTube. Unfortunately, external links aren't allowed in our comments section, but I can tell you that going to YouTube and searching "Cable Glute Kickbacks" will show several results that can help you.
Thanks!
Hi there! I've been enjoying doing these exercises. I don't have a machine, however. What would you recommend in place of that in this exercise?
Hey there!
Have a look on the exercise ''Donkey Kick'' or just google Glutei Kickback without the machine. It also works without equipment!
