#6 Scissor Kick
Scissor kicks primarily target the hips and the transverse abdominis muscle. The secondary target muscle group of this exercise includes rectus abdominis and the obliques.
Instructions:
Step 1: Lie on the ground in a supine position with arms placed on the sides. The arms and legs should be fully extended during the entire duration of the exercise. Lift the legs such that they are just off the ground.
Step 2: Slowly raise your left leg until it makes a 45-degree angle with the floor.
Step 3: Hold for a second and return to the starting position. Repeat the same motion with the other leg to complete one rep.
Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.
Important tip: Perform this exercise with ankle weights for bettered resistance and improved customisability.
