Supermans

With the Seated Cable Row and Lat Pulldown exercises focusing heavily on the larger muscles, this exercise targets the smaller muscles in the Upper back.
This 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 lying on a Yoga Mat face down, arms out in front
  • Looking straight down and keeping your chin off the mat, take a deep breath in through the nose.
  • Bring your arms back to a 90 Degree position and keeping them 10cms off the floor.

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
