Abstract
A machine, apparatus, and method for targeting the gluteal muscles. The exercise system includes a stationary left foot plate, a stationary right foot plate, and a mobile foot plate. The mobile foot plate is coupled to an arm and is configured to travel down and backward when pressed by a user's foot. An adjustable weight set is attached to the mobile foot plate and provides adjustable resistance when exercising. To exercise the gluteal muscles, the person stands with left or right foot on the corresponding stationary foot plate and places the other foot on the mobile foot plate. The person then drives the active foot downward and backward, then returns to the original resting position, thereby contracting and relaxing the gluteal muscles.
