Step-by-step

  1. Lie on your back and place your hands under your hips.
  2. Brace your abs by pressing your lower back into the floor.
  3. Raise your straight legs 15-20 cm off the floor.
  4. Flutter your legs up and down in small, fast scissoring movements without bending your knees.
  5. Maintain the rhythm for the set time or number of reps.

Coaching tip

If your lower back starts to lift off the floor, work your legs a little higher; small, rhythmic kicks are enough.

Caution

Skip this move or ask a professional first if you have pain or an injury in: lower back. FitCi filters it out of your program automatically based on the injuries in your profile.
