Glute Bridge

Lie on your back and bend your knees until your feet are flat on the floor. Without moving any other part of your body, engage your core and lift your back until it forms a straight line to your knees. Make sure to do this movement slowly and hold your position before lowering back down again. Make sure not to lift your back too high as this can cause strain.

Bird Dog

Begin by placing your hands, knees, and toes on the floor. Keep your hips as stable as possible as you extend one arm out along with the leg on the opposite side. Pause for a few seconds before returning back to your starting position. Once you’ve completed your desired number of reps, start doing the same with the other arm and leg.

Head and Hands Position

Flutter kicks are one of the exercises that you’ll perform lying on your back on the floor with your hand slightly lifted above the ground. That’s why it’s extremely important to position your head the way it suits you and adjust your hands for comfort to avoid potential back strain.

Controlled Movements

Quick movements will only reduce the safety of your flutter kicks, and they’re best avoided. Be mindful of the way you move while performing this exercise, and try to keep your legs lower to the ground if you don’t want it to put too much strain on your back.

Tightening Abs

If you’re thinking of adding flutter kicks to your workout routine because you want a great six-pack, this exercise will do you no good if you don’t tighten your abs. By doing so, you’ll make it more difficult to perform this exercise, but you’ll reap no benefits from flutter kicks if you don’t do them this way.

Lower Back

The main purpose of this muscle group is to keep your body erect and to help you rotate slightly with each step as you run. You can fix your posture with back extensions. Perform this exercise by lying down, pressing your pelvis into the floor, and lifting your head, chest, shoulders, and arms.

Shoulders/Upper Back

If you want your upper body to stay relaxed, focus on keeping your shoulders strong. Doing basic and side planks on a regular basis will help you keep this muscle group strong and healthy.

Hips

The excess side-to-side motion could put a strain on your back, but proper hip movement can drive you forward and stabilize your landing. Leg lifts can help you strengthen this muscle group. You can also do kneeling hip flexor stretches by lunging, keeping your upper body straight, with front knee behind toes, pushing hips forward, and holding for 30 seconds.
