Pulsing Superman
Targets: Lower back, glutes, core
How to: Ready to channel your inner superhero?
Lie on your stomach with the arms and legs pointing to the back wall.
Peel your upper body off the mat,
and lift the arms and legs, keeping them straight.
Next, comes the tricky part:
At the very top of the position,
pulse the body one inch up then one in down for 10 to 20 reps.
Up the ante even more by making those reps super-slow -- just don't forget to breathe!
Not challenging enough? Try pulsing at the top (meaning dropping down a quarter rep, then back up a quarter rep before lowering all the way back down).
