What Flutter Kicks trains
Technique
How to do Flutter Kicks
- Lie on your back with your legs extended and your arms at your sides, palms facing down. Place your hands under your hips for added support if needed.
- Lift your legs off the floor a few inches, keeping them straight and close together.
- Quickly alternate kicking your legs up and down in a small, controlled motion, engaging your core throughout the movement.
- Continue the flutter kicks for the desired duration, maintaining a steady and controlled pace. Lower your legs back to the floor to complete the exercise.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Move your legs in a controlled manner to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury.
- Focus on steady breathing, exhaling as you kick your legs and inhaling as you maintain the movement.
- Avoid letting your lower back arch off the floor; keep it pressed down to prevent strain.
- Adjust the height of your kicks to suit your fitness level and comfort, starting with smaller kicks and increasing the range of motion as you build strength.
