How to: Incline Alternate Flutter Kicks
- Lie on an incline bench, keeping your upper back supported.
- Lift your legs off the ground while keeping your knees slightly bent.
- Alternate kicking your legs up and down, keeping the movement controlled and steady.
Common Mistakes
- Arching the back instead of keeping it flat.
- Using momentum instead of controlled movements.
- Letting the legs drop too low, risking lower back strain.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise on a flat surface if the incline is too challenging.
- Reduce the range of motion by lowering your legs less if you find it difficult.
Tips
- Keep your back flat against the incline to avoid strain.
- Engage your core throughout the movement for better stability.
- Control the movement to maximize muscle engagement.
