Scissor Kick
Main Muscle: Abdominals
Mechanics Type: Isolation
 
Lie with your back on the ground and legs straight. Place your hands under the lower part of your back (palms on the ground) to support the lower back region. Lift your legs approximately 1 – 1 ½ feet off the floor. Quickly cross the feet over one another without moving the hips off the ground. Perform the exercise for 30 seconds to a minute and focus on proper breathing. To increase difficulty, raise the legs higher in the air as you scissor for a set, and then lower to the ground.
