Ab Flutter Kicks (Lying Scissor Kicks) Lower Abdominals and Obliques

Scissor Kicks are a great exercise for strengthening all parts of the abdominal region, especially the lower abdominal and obliques. 



a) Lie semi-supine on the ground bracing with your forearms, hands by your side

b) Tighten your core 

c) Extend your legs to near full, with just a slight bend in the knees

d) Make short up and down movements so the vertical leg is lowered until 10cm of the ground, while the lower leg is raised vertically 

e) Continue alternating leg positions



The key is having your core midsection engaged throughout the exercise. Make sure the energy and motion is centered in your abdominals and hips!



Try and do three sets of 20 - 30 repetitions

Follow with stretching your abdominal muscles

 a) Full-body stretch 

 b) Cobra core stretch 



Good luck with your exercises and health goals and thanks for watching. Cheers!
