Exercise Description

The flutter kick exercise builds core strength and burns belly fat. It targets your abs while improving hip flexor flexibility and endurance.

How To

1. Lie flat on your back with legs straight and arms by your sides for support. 2. Lift both legs about 6 inches off the ground, keeping your lower back pressed down. 3. Start the flutter kick by lifting your right leg higher while lowering your left leg slightly. 4. Switch quickly - lower your right leg while lifting your left leg in a scissor motion. 5. Continue this flutter kick pattern for 30-60 seconds, keeping your core tight throughout.

Form Tips

• Keep your lower back glued to the floor during flutter kick to protect your spine. • Make small, controlled movements rather than big leg swings for better muscle activation. • Breathe steadily throughout the flutter kick - don't hold your breath. • Keep your legs straight and toes pointed for maximum effectiveness.

Common Mistakes

• Lifting your lower back off the ground, which can cause back pain and reduces flutter kick effectiveness. • Moving your legs too high or too wide, making the exercise easier and less effective. • Going too fast without control, which reduces muscle engagement and proper form.
