Exercise Directory: Scissor 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 #6: Lift both legs slightly off the floor ... without arching your lower back.

STEP #7: Cross your left foot over your right foot.

STEP #8: Press both legs out in a V shape.

​​STEP #9: Bring both legs back in ... but this time, cross your right foot over your left foot.

​STEP #10: Repeat this movement [alternating the legs] for 40-60 repetitions ... or until your lower abdominals and/or legs start to fatigue.

Side View:

​STEP #11: REST.

​STEP #12: REPEAT.
