Lever Standing Rear Kick

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and engage your core. Hold onto the lever machine for support.

  1. Shift your weight onto one leg.
  2. Extend the opposite leg behind you, keeping it straight.
  3. Engage your glutes as you kick back.
  4. Return to the starting position and repeat.

How to perform the Lever Standing Rear Kick

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Lever Standing Rear Kick using your leverage machine.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your quadriceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your quadriceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
