| Fitball Supermans |
This exercise is very similar to the previous floor superman; but on a fitball! Please ensure you are stabilized and hold a strong core position; focusing on posture.
The other exercises (seated cable row, lat pulldown) both focus heavily on the larger muscles, the Superman targets the smaller muscles in the Upper back. It is a great exercise for those with Upper Back & Neck weaknesses or for those that want to prevent this from happening.
Starting Position:
Start
by kneeling with the Fitball in
front of you, slowly climb on until your mid section is in the middle
of the ball- Looking straight down and keeping your upper body flat take a deep breath in through the nose.
- Bring your arms back to a 90 Degree position and keeping them level with your body.
First Repetition:
Extend
your arms slowly to the top; in front of your head.
Touch
your fingers
counting to 3 as you exhale.- As you reach the top immmediately bring your arms back to the start position using a slow and controlled movement
- Ensure you hold your back and tummy tight and use a slow movement all the way through.
Advancements:
- Add a couple of smaller Dumbbells to the movement to increase the intensity.
- The key with this exercise is to keep the reps high and use a slow and controlled movement. The slower the better...
