Anna Daltro/Glutes & Strong Women 35+

Three exercises. One machine. Three completely different training goals.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is people thinking that every lower body exercise does the same thing.

It doesn’t.

The way you move, the movement pattern you choose, and how you challenge your body all change the training stimulus.

Today I used the same machine for three different purposes:

✔ Reverse Squat
I love this variation because it allows me to train through a deep, controlled range of motion while placing a strong emphasis on hip extension and glute engagement.

✔ Good Morning
This is one of my favorite hip hinge movements. A strong posterior chain—your glutes, hamstrings, and lower back—is the foundation of lower body strength. If you want stronger glutes, don’t overlook the muscles that work with them.

✔ Single-Leg Good Morning
Training one leg at a time is one of the best ways to challenge stability, coordination, and body control. It also helps you recognize differences between your right and left side that often go unnoticed during bilateral exercises.

After years of coaching women, one thing has become very clear to me:

Results don’t come from doing more exercises. They come from understanding why you’re doing each one.

Every movement should have a purpose.

Every rep should have intention.

That’s how you build strength that lasts.

✨ Save this workout for your next lower body session, and if you learned something new today, share it with someone who loves training as much as you do.
