No-equipment flutter kicks will ignite your abs. If you have a resistance band to add, you'll feel it even more!
- If you have a resistance band, loop one handle of the band on either foot. Hold onto the middle of the tube with both hands.
- Lie on your back. Draw your navel toward your spine, and press your low spine into the floor to protect your lower back. Lift both legs up so they are almost pointing straight up toward the ceiling.
- Scissor your legs up and down one at a time, starting with the left leg. Move slowly, and point your toes. Each time your right foot lowers down, it counts as one rep.
- To make this move more difficult, lower your legs so they are about six to 10 inches above the floor, as in the lower image. Make sure to keep your abs scooped when you work with your legs close to the ground.
