To perform the Superman exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Lie face down on a mat or flat surface with your arms stretched out in front of you and your legs extended behind you.
2. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body.
3. Slowly lift your arms, chest, and legs off the ground simultaneously. Keep your gaze down to maintain a neutral spine position.
4. Hold the lifted position for a few seconds, focusing on squeezing your glutes and engaging your lower back muscles.
5. Slowly lower your arms, chest, and legs back down to the starting position.
6. Repeat the exercise for 10-15 repetitions, or as many as you can comfortably do with proper form.
