Flutter Kick

This is a simple and effective exercise to work your calves, glutes & core and takes only 60 SECONDS.

Workout & fitness instruction with CEO and founder Ann Barnes.

Flutter kicks are a beginner-friendly exercise that strengthens your calves, glutes, and core while also improving endurance and coordination. They are simple to perform and require no equipment, making them perfect for at-home workouts.

Start by lying flat on your back with your legs extended and your arms at your sides or under your glutes for extra support. Engage your core by gently pressing your lower back into the floor. Lift both legs a few inches off the ground, keeping them straight and your toes pointed.

Begin kicking your legs up and down in a controlled, alternating motion, like swimming. Keep your movements small and steady rather than fast or jerky. Maintain your core engagement throughout the exercise and breathe naturally.

Start with 20–30 seconds and gradually increase as your strength improves. Flutter Kicks effectively tone your lower body, strengthen your abs, and improve overall stability.
