How to Perform

Starting Position:

Begin in a deep-end standing position, with your knees slightly bent and your feet pointed and shoulder-width apart. Put your arms on a noodle, parallel to the ground. Relax your shoulders.

Action:

Kick your legs forward and backward in an alternate motion to move from standing to lying positions. And then back to the standing position again. Try to maintain a straight spine throughout the movement. That means moving your body as one. Aim at using your leg kicks only to change your body's position. Keep your arms relaxed. Remember, this exercise is targeting your leg muscles.

Breathing:

Perform one full flutter kick motion as you inhale and one as you exhale.

Muscles Worked

A great exercise for major muscles in your legs, especially the quadriceps, hip flexors, and glutes. Leg kicks also work the hamstring and the calf muscles.

Horizontal to Vertical Leg Kicks

Horizontal to Vertical Leg Kicks is a great exercise to strengthen your legs. Using leg kicks to change your body position from standing to lying can be very challenging. If performed continuously in deep water, it will make your quads burn. Deep-end is the ideal place to perform this exercise, as you have more space to move and your feet won't touch the floor.
