Around the World Superman Hold
Hold the superman, chest and legs off the floor, while the straight arms sweep from overhead down to the hips and back; the moving arms test how still the hold stays.
How to do it
Setup
Face down, arms reaching overhead, legs long; lift the chest and legs into the superman.
Steps
- Sweep the straight arms out to the sides and down to the hips.
- Sweep them back overhead along the same wide arc.
- Keep the chest and legs up for the whole set; time it.
Common mistakes
Chest sinking as the arms travel: the lift stays level throughout. Arms dragging on the floor: they sweep just above it. Holding the breath: breathe slow and even.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
