Exercise Directory: Flutter Kicks [Hands on Your Stomach]

This exercise will focus on your lower abdominal muscle.

STEP #1: Lie down on your back on the floor [facing the ceiling].

STEP #2: Extend your legs straight out.

STEP #3: Place your hands on your stomach so you can feel your abdominal muscles working.

STEP #4: Draw your belly button in toward your spine.

​STEP #5: Press your lower back against the floor. This is to help eliminate your back from arching.

STEP #4: Lift your left leg off the floor as high as it will go without switching body positions.

STEP #5: Slowly lower your left leg back so that it is hovering right above the floor. As you lower your left leg, slowly lift your right leg off the floor.

STEP #6: Continue to repeat this movement until you feel your lower abdominals start to fatigue.

​​STEP #7: REST.

​STEP #8: REPEAT.
