An elevated superman! Use the stability ball to elevate your superman pose.
HOW TO…
- First, get in a High Plank position with your feet on the stability ball. Check the Stability Ball Alt Leg Lift 2 article to see how to do this.
- Now lift your right arm and extend it. At the same time lift your left leg off the ball 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 ball and lower your right arm back onto the floor.
- The completes the stability ball superman. Repeat with the other arm and leg.
Note: Make sure to position your feet as close together on the ball as possible. This makes it easier to lift one of the legs and keep your balance with the other.
Goal: Aim to do 5 stability ball superman poses on the ball 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. As always, using a little softer stability ball will also make the exercise easier.
