Instructions
1. Lie on your back on a mat or flat surface.
2. Place your hands underneath your buttocks or to your sides for support.
3. Lift your legs slightly off the ground, keeping them straight. The elevation should be a few inches above the ground.
4. Tighten your core muscles to keep your lower back pressed flat into the floor to prevent any arching.
5. Begin the movement by lifting one leg higher than the other in a small, rapid up and down scissor motion.
6. Alternate kicking with each leg while keeping them straight and controlled, without letting your feet touch the floor.
7. Continue alternating kicks for a set duration of time or number of repetitions, ensuring you maintain proper form throughout.
8. Breathe rhythmically throughout the exercise to maintain core engagement and to keep up with the cardio aspect of the flutter kicks.
