Flutter kicks are a core endurance exercise where you lie on your back and make small, rapid, alternating up-and-down kicks with straight legs. They primarily target the lower portion of the rectus abdominis, with the hip flexors and quadriceps working hard and the deep core stabilizing throughout. Lie flat, place your hands under your glutes for support, and press your lower back firmly into the floor as you lift your legs and flutter them in a controlled, scissoring rhythm. Keep your heels just a few inches off the ground, since lower legs make your abs work harder. Do not let your back arch; if it lifts, raise your legs higher or stop. Keep your head and neck relaxed on the mat. Flutter kicks build lower-ab endurance and anti-extension stability useful for running, swimming, and heavy lifts.
