• Trains your overall core engagement in response to lower leg movements and additional resistance during the swing.
• This exercise is great for individuals whose goals are to strengthen their glutes or to increase the size of the muscles.

• This exercise is not recommended to individuals not yet familiar with the hinge pattern.
• This exercise can injure the lower back if not properly executed.
• This exercise is not recommended to individuals with any hip, knee, or ankle problems.
