Scissor Kick

Body only Abdominals

The Scissor Kick is a stretching movement that targets your abdominals. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Scissor Kick

  1. Lie flat on your back with hands tucked under your glutes for lower-back support.
  2. Lift both legs a few inches off the floor and brace your core.
  3. Alternate raising and lowering each leg in a controlled scissoring motion.
  4. Press your lower back into the floor — do not let it arch.
