Keep tension on the cable the entire time. Hinge by sending your hips back and up while the back knee moves forward. Rotate into the lead hip and stay loaded through the foot as you come back up.

If you do not rotate and load the hip correctly, the movement often turns into a hamstring-dominant hinge instead of a fuller glute and posterior chain exercise. What does this exercise help with?
