Rogue athlete Arielle Loewen demonstrates proper form for flutter kicks in this quick and simple movement demo from Rogue HQ. The flutter kick is a classic core and hip flexor exercise often used in fitness training, gymnastics, swimming, and military training. The athlete lies on their back, lifts the legs a couple of inches off the ground and alternates small, fast “fluttering” kicks up and down while keeping the midline braced and the legs long with toes pointed. This movement can be used to develop core strength to help build capacity towards movements such as v-ups and toes to bar. Benefits - Helps increase core strength and endurance, the core remains static so this movement builds isometric strength and therefore midline control. - Builds hip flexor strength - Movement has good transferability to sports such as swimming, running, kicking mechanics, and gymnastics. - Great foundational movement to build core strength that is used in the hollow hold, toes-to-bar, L-sits, and ki...
