How to: Scissor Kick

Primary Muscles Used:Abs, Transverse Abdominis

Exercise Families:Trunk Anti-Extension

Trainer:Kelsey Wells

  1. Start by lying on your back on a yoga mat. Engage your abdominal muscles by drawing your belly button in towards your spine and raise both legs off the floor. This is your starting position.
  2. At the same time, slightly raise your right leg and slightly lower your left leg, ensuring that neither of your legs touch the floor.
  3. At the same time, slightly raise your left leg and slightly lower your right leg, ensuring that neither of your legs touch the floor. This should create a “scissor-like” motion. Continue alternating between right and left for the specified number of repetitions, inhaling for four repetitions and exhaling for four repetitions.
