Flutter kicks

  • Duration: 6 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Energy boost

Lie on your back with your hands resting under your lower back for support and your legs lifted a small distance off the floor. This is your starting position. Keeping your legs straight and your lower back pressed gently against your hands, alternate small up-and-down kicks, breathing steadily rather than holding your breath. Keep the kicks small and controlled, raising your legs higher any time your lower back starts to arch. Continue for 10 to 12 kicks on each leg, then rest.
