How to do Supermans <\/h4>\n

The superman focuses on the isometric part of the exercise. So once you’re in the position, the hardest part is holding it before lowering slowly back down.<\/p>\n

1. Start by lying down vertically, with your stomach on the floor and your hands above your head.<\/p>\n

2. From this starting position, lift both arms and both legs away from the floor, as if attempting to create a U shape curve with your whole body<\/p>\n

3. Make sure your head and neck are neutral and in line with your spine<\/p>\n

4. Hold this position for a few seconds, then lower yourself slowly back to the starting position<\/p>\n
