Supermans May 19, 2007
Lie on your stomach with your arms and legs stretched out. (Just like Superman when he flies through the air!)
Lift your arms and legs off the ground a few inches, hold 3 seconds, and then lower to the starting position.
Repeat about 20 times. If you’re up to it, do 3 sets of 20 reps.
thanks a lot for these exercise tips! the photos are really helpful, and i appreciate info on exercises that can be done in the home… without expensive equipment or expensive personal trainers!
Do you have any Superman pose photos on a stability or a swiss ball you can forward to me at my email address ?
Thanks,
Graham Wright
I highly recommend this page for Supermans on a swiss ball!
Yes dude, I love supermans. The explanation was also well written. Although, I prefer the type of supermans when you hang over some sort of incline (I don’t know the exact name of the machine), but you lower your head and body then swing yourself back up. It’s a great exercise for building lower back muscle, you might want to consider writing something about that in your next post, I’ve been meaning to write one on mine but haven’t gotten around to it (www.fitnessforjoes.com).

That would be the “back extension” on what I believe is known simply as the “extension bench”
It’s a good one but a bit harder to do properly without the right equipment.
