Flutter Kicks With Pool Noodle Support

Description

Place a pool noodle under your arms, with the curved part behind your back, and hold both ends with your hands. Get into a semi-seated position and press down on the pool noodle to keep your balance. Extend your legs in front of you and perform small, quick, alternating flutter kicks near the surface of the water. Keep your abdominals contracted and breathe steadily. Perform the exercise for the duration recommended by your therapist.
