Scissor Kick

Step By Step Guide:

  1. Lay on your back with your legs completely straight out and place your hands under your low back.

  2. Raise your legs about six inches off the ground, one leg slightly higher off the ground than the other. Make a horizontal “V” with your legs then cross one leg over top of the other alternating each side.

Helpful Cues:

  1. Think that your legs are like a pair of scissors opening and closing horizontally just above the ground.

  2. Press your low back against your hands to help brace your abs and take tension off your low back.

Common Mistakes:

  1. Don’t let your low back arch up off the ground.
