Which muscles does dolphin kick and butterfly stroke work?
Dolphin kick- abs abs and abs- all your power and motion will come from the contractions of your upper abs transfering down the lower. The calves get a little work on the end of the kick, but its mainly transference. Fly: works the dolphin kick areas as well as your pectorals, shoulder (whole area really), and smaller mid to upper back muscles, as well as a lot of tricep action. Hamstrings: flutter kicking on your back always burned my hammies into mush- especially with fins, doing 800-900 yards (35-40 laps). If you do it on your front, it’ll work your quadriceps more.
