Cable side leg raise

How to do this exercise

1. Step:1 Attach an ankle strap to the low pulley and attach it to the ankle of the leg furthest from the machine.
2. Step:2 Stand in profile to the pulley, holding on to the machine post with the nearest hand for balance.
3. Step:3 Keep the supporting leg slightly bent and the torso straight, the abdominals engaged.
4. Step:4 Raise the attached leg to the side in a slow, controlled manner, leading the movement with the side of the foot.
5. Step:5 Go up until you feel a strong contraction in the lateral glutes, without tilting your torso to cheat.
6. Step:6 Lower the leg slowly, controlling the weight. For maximum stretch, allow the working leg to cross slightly in front of the supporting leg at the end of the movement.
7. Step:7 Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.
