Alternating Superman
Face down with the arms overhead, lift one arm and the opposite leg together, lower them and switch; the superman one diagonal at a time.
How to do it
Setup
Face down on the floor, arms extended overhead, legs long, forehead toward the floor.
Steps
- Lift the right arm and the left leg a hand's width off the floor.
- Hold for a beat, hips pressed down.
- Lower them and lift the left arm and the right leg.
Common mistakes
Rolling the hips to lift the leg higher: both hips stay on the floor. Lifting the arm and the leg of the same side: cross the diagonal. Craning the head up: eyes down, neck long.
Breathing
Exhale on the lift, inhale lowering.
