Movement overview

The Seated Flutter Kick is an abdominal exercise that targets the lower abs, hip flexors, and obliques. It involves performing a fluttering motion with the legs while seated, engaging the core muscles to maintain stability and control.

Step-by-step cues

1. Sit on the edge of a bench or sturdy surface with your legs extended in front of you.
2. Place your hands slightly behind your hips for support, keeping your back straight and chest lifted.
3. Lean back slightly to engage your core muscles.
4. Lift both legs off the ground a few inches while keeping them straight.
5. Begin to alternate kicking your legs up and down in a fluttering motion, keeping the movement controlled and steady.
6. Continue the flutter kicks for the desired number of repetitions or time duration.

Technical tips

• Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability.
• Ensure your back remains straight and avoid rounding your shoulders.
• Perform the movement slowly and with control to maximize muscle engagement.
• Breathe steadily and avoid holding your breath during the exercise.
• If you experience any discomfort in your lower back, adjust your posture or reduce the range of motion.
