4. Keep alternating the legs in a controlled manner without letting your feet touch the ground.
5. Breathe steadily throughout the movement, and ensure your lower back remains in contact with the mat to avoid strain.
6. Perform this exercise for a set amount of time (e.g., 30 seconds to 1 minute) or for a certain number of repetitions (e.g., 20-30 flutter kicks per leg).
Ensure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent any lower back pain and to target the muscles effectively. If you're new to this exercise, start with shorter durations or fewer repetitions and increase gradually as you build strength and endurance.
