Todays Favorite Exercise

Ok, so these are not my favorite exercise. However, today, they were! Anytime my kids want to workout with me, it's a treat! They have so much fun. What they lack in good form, they make up for in giggles.

Ok, so Supermans are pretty simple. Lay on your stomach, keep your abs tight, arms out in front of you. Raise your arms/upper body, and your legs. Hold for a beat, lower, and repeat. If you are keeping your abs tight you shouldn't be able to raise up very far off the ground. You can also do Sequential Supermans, raising legs first, then upper body, or upper body then legs. Another variation is to use light weights. Dumbbells in hand, lay face down with hands at ear level resting on the floor. Keeping hands at ear level, raise upper body, then lower body. You will feel that much more in your shoulders and upper back then the normal variation. 20 reps is a good set.

Here is the view I had today while doing my Supermans : )
