#5 Alternating Superman

Targets: Abdominals and lower back muscles

– Get into a push-up position

– Lift your right arm and left leg at the same time without moving your torso

– Hold the position for at least a two count

– Return to the starting position and then repeat, lifting your opposite leg and arm

How to Make it Tougher:

Instead of lifting your opposite arm and leg, lift the same arm and leg off the ground, which will raise one side of your body. From there, repeat on the other side.

Things to Avoid:

Make sure your whole body is parallel to the ground and don’t allow your lower back to sink lower than your body. Also, make sure your butt doesn’t point too high up in the air.
