How to do flutter kicks: a step-by-step guide

Here’s the correct way to do flutter kicks, for an intense lower-ab workout. Here we go:

  1. Lay on your back, extending your legs at a 45-degree angle. Your arms should be down at your sides and your legs off the ground.

  2. Lift your head, shoulders, and neck slightly off the ground.

  3. Start kicking your legs up and down, alternating as you go. Flutter your legs at a pace you can maintain whilst also keeping your core still.

  4. Flutter for 90 seconds, or until you give up.

  5. Repeat, for 3 sets of 90 second flutter kicks.

Remember, you can use a yoga mat if you need to. If you can keep going past 90 seconds then keep going! Listen to your body and increase the intensity as and when you can.
