This exercise is a great addition to your AB routine. While its main focus are the rectus abdominis, it also works the obliques, transversus abdominis and the iliopsoas muscles....laymans terms, the whole stomach. Yea! We love that!
Lie flat on the floor with your legs extended, toes pointed and hands by your sides. Tuck your pelvis under you by flattening your back into the floor and lift both legs off the floor a few inches, keeping legs straight. Alternately kick your legs up and down using an even cadence. Do as many as you can before you just can't do any more, rest, then do it again!
SAFETY NOTE: Avoid excessively arching your lower back. If your back is arching a lot try raising both legs a little higher until it normalizes, or place your hands flat right under your buttocks to help with that pelvic tilt.
