On day 21 we did the superman pose, simply on the floor using a yoga mat. On day 84 we used the stability ball to make the superman pose even more interesting. Now that we are using BOSU, let’s also do a superman on BOSU.
HOW TO…
- First, get in a High Plank position with your feet on the BOSU ball. Refer to the day 84 if you need to remember how to do this.
- Now lift your right arm and extend it. At the same time lift your left leg off the BOSU a little. No need to raise the leg high, just a little lift is enough.
- Keep facing down and keep your core tight to make sure your body stays straight.
- Hold for 3 seconds.
- Slowly lower the left leg back onto the BOSU ball and lower your right arm back onto the floor.
- The completes the superman on BOSU. Repeat with the other arm and leg.
Note: Make sure to position your feet as close together on the BOSU ball as possible. This makes it easier to lift one of the legs and keep your balance with the other.
Goal: Aim to perform 5 stability ball superman poses on the BOSU before moving off the ball.
Variation: If the exercise is too difficult, start with only doing the arm movement. Once you can do that comfortably, do only the leg. Then combine both the leg and arm movements.
