Supported Superman Raise Cues:
- Start exercise in a prone position (lying down on your stomach): legs outstretched, core engaged, and arms stretched out in front of you with hands on supporting equipment.
- Squeeze your glutes as you push down with your hands, lift you legs off the ground, and push your head and chest downward to utilize your posterior muscles.
- Return to start position in a controlled movement while maintaining a tight core for one rep. (May not be a recommended movement for some with chronic back issues)
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a finishing core exercise after a back workout.
- Add as a strength training exercise twice a week to build a better squat.
- Use as a dynamic stability exercise in a core workout routine.
