Begin by getting on a glute machine and lowering your upper body from the waist so your head and upper body are hanging down.<\/p>\n<p>2. Raise your body as high as you can then, lower back to starting position. You have completed one repetition. The glute ham raise is moderately difficult and should be executed in a smooth, fluid motion.
