Incline Alternate Flutter Kicks

GlutesBody WeightIntermediate

Perform the Incline Alternate Flutter Kicks to engage your core and improve lower body strength.

  1. Lie on an incline bench with your back supported.
  2. Extend your legs straight out, hovering just above the bench.
  3. Alternate kicking your legs up and down in a fluttering motion.
  4. Keep your core tight and avoid arching your back.

How to perform the Incline Alternate Flutter Kicks

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Incline Alternate Flutter Kicks 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 glutes.
  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 glutes 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.

Detailed cues, common mistakes, and demonstration video are available in the Fitly app.
