Instructions

1. Lie face down on a flat surface, such as a mat or the floor. Extend your arms in front of you and keep your legs straight behind you, toes pointed.

2. Engage your core and glutes to lift both legs slightly off the ground. Ensure your pelvis stays in neutral alignment and does not tilt. Keep your neck in a neutral position by gazing down at the floor.

3. Begin the movement by alternately lifting each leg higher while the opposite leg lowers, mimicking a flutter kick used in swimming.

4. Continue this alternating leg lift motion in a controlled manner for the desired number of repetitions or for a set duration of time. Focus on engaging your glutes and hamstrings throughout the movement.

5. Breathe rhythmically and steadily to keep your core engaged and to provide oxygen to your working muscles.

6. After completing the exercise, lower your legs gently to the floor and relax your muscles.
