SUPERMAN PLANKS AND OTHER ABS



Superman Planks. Very fun different workout for your abs, hits pretty much every muscle in your abdominals and also works on stability. The entire time your doing this exercise your body is fighting for control to keep you from tipping over. I would not try this if you’re a beginner it can be difficult and discouraging.

What your going to do is get in the normal plank position, hands flat, on your toes, belly sucked in, back flat. From here your going to extend your either right or left arm straight ahead. Next you want to elevate the opposite leg straight up in the air as high as you can keeping your back straight. Hold this pose for 30 seconds then rotate. This is a core killer and if your into trying new fun exercises you’ll love it! Here are two more ab exercises to complete this circuit.

-Super man Planks  (above)   3 sets 30 sec each side

-Weighted Crunch (hold a med ball, dumbbell, or plated weight over your abdomen while doing a crunch) 3 sets 30 reps

-Weighted Flutter Kicks ( lay on your back lift your legs 6 in off the ground, hold the weight above your abdomen, bring your shoulders off the ground, kick your legs slowly up and down) 3 sets 30 sec each


Have an awesome day, any questions please feel free to contact me. Also if you are interested in setting up a session with me I have some openings first one is free to try out we can discuss rates from there. I can guarantee compared to the area  you wont beat them!! Look forward to hearing from you.
