Superman back extension

  • Duration: 5 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Energy boost

Lie face down on a mat with your arms stretched out in front of you and your legs extended straight behind you. This is your starting position. Breathe out as you gently lift your arms, chest and legs a few centimetres off the floor, squeezing your lower back and glutes, then breathe in as you lower back down with control. Keep your neck relaxed and avoid lifting higher than feels comfortable. Repeat 8 to 10 times at a slow, steady pace.
