Hanging Flutter Kick

Perform the Hanging Flutter Kick by hanging from a pull-up bar with your arms fully extended. Engage your core and keep your body straight.

  1. Lift your legs off the ground, keeping them straight.
  2. Alternate kicking your legs up and down in a fluttering motion.
  3. Maintain control and avoid swinging your body.
  4. Focus on using your core to stabilize your movements.

How to perform the Hanging Flutter Kick

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Hanging Flutter Kick using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your abdominals.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your abdominals rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
