This is an “interesting” series. Side planks, no problem I could do those for a long time. However, the flutter kicks are kicking my ass I think because of tight hips. On my back I feel it in my upper legs and a bit in my lower back, abs aren’t an issue. On my stomach is where the problem is. I get very little lift off my thighs, no variation makes any difference and lots of strain on my lower back. Any suggestions appreciated.
Definitely break the flutter kicks into sets. Certain time on/off.
For prone flutter kicks, did you try the table top position? Bird dogs would be another way to do it.
Can also do standing leg pulses. Weight one foot and then extend the opposite as far back as you can while keeping it straight and rep out however many you can. I just did ten on each leg and feel the same burn in my hamstrings and ass as I did on the prone flutter kicks earlier.
Thanks. I’ll give it a try. I’m in a hotel so I’ll have to wait on the table technique. I wish I had a table, God only knows what’s on the carpet I’m lying on.
Haha no I mean table top position like on your hands and knees and then extending a leg back to make it straight and lifting as high as you can. Can do just one rep and alternate sides or pulse that leg up and down for however many reps before switching.
I feel the Get Ready section should be a manual that comes with every gym membership or online program. Because it's not the exercise selection or the plan you follow, it's the habit of showing up when you don't feel like it that makes all the difference. Awesome challenge this month!
I didn't even know prone flutter kicks were a thing 😮
But that's Good news! Another weapon in the arsenal of fitness 💪🔥💯
Yeah man. Burn like hell too
Just pour gasoline into your hamstrings and skip the prone flutter kicks. Same level of pain, less work... OK, I kid.
Hahah walk in the park for you and Ivan
