Scissor Kicks are a great way to target your lower abs while improving hip stability and core endurance. FitnessTracker recommends this exercise for beginners and advanced users alike — it’s simple, scalable, and surprisingly tough.
Instructions
- Lie flat on your back with arms by your sides and palms down.
- Lift both legs about 6 inches off the ground with a slight bend in the knees.
- Raise one leg to a 45-degree angle while lowering the other just above the floor.
- Alternate legs in a smooth, scissoring motion, keeping your core tight throughout.
- Continue for time or reps, breathing steadily and avoiding back arching.
