Instructions:
- 1Sit on the edge of the padded stool and lean back slightly, balancing on your sits bones.
- 2Extend your legs out in front, close together and lift them up to hip height.
- 3Start alternating lifting one leg higher then the other, as if you're doing a flutter kick in water.
- 4Keep your hands on the sides or base of the stool for steadiness.
- 5Keep your core tight and continue flutter kicking for a set number of reps.
Tips:
- Ensure your back is straight as you perform this exercise.
- Until you're comfortable with the exercise, start with smaller kicks.
- Engage your quads and obliques properly, remember to breathe steadily during the exercise.
- The higher the kick, the more strain on your ab muscles. Start with low kicks and progress to higher ones as your strength improves.
