How to Do the Flutter Kicks Ab Exercise

Flutter kicks are an intense abdominal exercise. It may not seem like much of a challenge at first, but the challenge will become readily apparent as the seconds turn into minutes.

Instructions

    • 1

      Lie flat on your back, with your arms resting palm-down by your sides.

    • 2

      Lift your heels about six inches off of the floor. Keep your legs fully extended, with a slight bend in your knees.

    • 3

      Now, quickly move your legs up and down, alternating in small, rapid and scissor-like motions - as one leg goes up, the other comes down. Use your arms to stabilize you, but keep your lower back flat against the ground as best as you can.

    • 4

      Continue these motions for as long as required, as per your level of fitness. Keep your abdominal muscles contracted throughout the exercise - they should be doing most of the work.

    • 5

      When you have had enough, or have reached exhaustion, slowly lower your legs to the floor. Afterwards, give your muscles time to rest and recuperate.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can alter the intensity of the exercise by changing the size of the kicks, or the height you hold them off the ground.
