Move your body, day 21: Flutter-kick into action

This exercise is great for your abs and keeping your hip flexors limber.

DAY 21 OF 25 Flutter kicks Just 5 days left in our challenge! How are you feeling? Ready for more? This exercise is great for your abs and keeping your hip flexors limber. Feel free to tweak this movement for needed modification.   If your lower back is straining, bend your knees and lower your legs so that you're not arching the entire way through.  Duration: Do 10 per side. Repeat 3 times. Instructions: Lie on your back, hands at your sides. While the common flutter kick has you scissoring both legs simultaneously, this version keeps one leg straight up while the other rises from the floor to meet it. Keep your abs engaged to tone those muscles, as well as strengthen your core. Do about 10 per side. Tomorrow: A yoga pose to open your heart.
