How to Do Superman Knee Exercises

Video Transcript

"So the next exercise in the series to really get the core stronger and the lower back is called the "Superman", or I like to call it the "Super Person" just to be PC, what about women, you know. So anyway the Super Person is done why you're lying on your stomach and you're just going to lift your hands and you're lift your legs and you'll feel it all along your back but you're really going to engage the core when you're doing this. When you're engaging the core you're really controlling the muscles and you?re contracting and you're really working this set of muscles to get it stronger. So I'm going to demonstrate how we do this. Lie on your mat, hands in front of you, legs behind you, keep your legs about hip width apart and so starting position is here and we lift up, hold it, and lower, lift up, hold and lower. You want to hold it about three to five seconds or more in the up position and lower. And you're really contracting your whole body. The core, the buttocks, the legs, everything is just tensed up so that you really getting a good workout with all of your muscles. You do this about, I'll say ten to twelve reps, you'll definitely feel it all over your body. It's a good all over body toning and strengthening exercise."
