Flutter Kick Squats Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and with one foot forward and the other foot behind you.
2. Jump and switch leg positions.
3. Jump again, landing with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart, and squat.
4. Jump to return to the starting position and repeat the exercise.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Keep your core tight and, as you jump, push from your back toes and land softly on your front heel. Move your arms in a way that resembles the running motion and keep your breathing pattern slow and steady.
