No new exercise this week ...Ted have you gave up on us

Panslass you just go ahead and put one up.

Stu and I were both lightweights last week I did manage 2 sets but never managed my 3rd...will try harder this week!

Lower back strengthening exercise ....or better known as the Superman exercise .


1.To begin, lie straight and face down on the floor or exercise mat. Your arms should be fully extended in front of you. This is the starting position.
2.Simultaneously raise your arms, legs, and chest off of the floor and hold this contraction for 10 to 15 seconds. Tip: Squeeze your lower back to get the best results from this exercise. Remember to exhale during this movement. Note: When holding the contracted position, you should look like superman when he is flying.
3.Slowly begin to lower your arms, legs and chest back down to the starting position while inhaling.
4.Repeat 2 sets of 6

Variations: You can also perform this exercise using one arm and leg at a time. Simply elevating your left leg, arm and side of your chest and do the same with the right side.
