Transverse Abdominal Exercises - The Superman Pose
STEP 1

STEP 2

Repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions.
Special Notes
Some people like to place a folded exercise mat or BOSU ball under their stomach for more comfort. To increase the level of difficulty, you can raise your legs at the same time your raise your head and arms and hold in the peak/top position for a half a second or 1 full second. If you do this variation, don't put anything under your stomach because it will only cause you to get off balance.
