flutter kicks
Legs alternating rapidly
Flutter kicks are a prone exercise in which you lie on your back and rapidly alternate raising and lowering your legs in small motions, keeping them straight.
The movement resembles a swimmer's kick.
Flutter kicks target the lower abdominal muscles and hip flexors: We finished the workout with thirty seconds of flutter kicks.
