100 Abdominal Exercises Flutter Kicks
In our series: 100 Abdominal Exercises, Flutter Kicks are a great place to start.
This move is relatively simple. You can do these as a beginner, or add difficulty for a real challenge.
Start out laying on the ground on your back with your legs up. Place your hands under your hips to support your lower back.
Engage your core (or flex your stomach) and lower your legs just to the point where you feel your back try to lift off the floor.
That may be just a little bit for beginners, or it may be just an inch off the floor if you are more advanced in your core strength.
Find that “sweet spot” where you feel your abs engage and your legs are lowered just to that point when your lower back is still glued to the floor or mat.
Slowly kick your legs in a skiing, back and forth motion. Hold your core tight as you move your legs up and down for a great workout targeting your lower abdominals.
Try this exercise for 15 seconds if you are a beginning fitness woman.
After you have been at it for a while, increase your time and lower your legs just a bit closer to the floor. You will really feel a difference in your core strength from this abdominal exercise!
