Seated Flutter Kicks

4 steps Updated 29/08/2026

Seated Flutter Kicks is a bodyweight exercise targeting Abdominals (Rectus Abdominis).

Step by step

How to perform it

  1. Sit on a bench with your legs extended straight out in front of you. Lean back slightly, supporting yourself by gripping the sides of the bench.
  2. Lift both legs off the bench a few inches, keeping them straight.
  3. Begin the flutter kicks by alternately raising and lowering your legs in a scissor-like motion, moving your right leg up while your left leg moves down and vice versa.
  4. Continue the flutter kicks for the desired number of repetitions or duration, keeping your core engaged and your movements controlled.
