Kind of a misnomer since it is technically an "anaerobic" excercise but the point being you will be huffing and puffing if you push it hard and use the right weight. Go fer and put your comments on it in the blog-a-rooney. Toodle-pipsky!

What you'll need:

-Pull up bar

I don't know either, this is only the first time that i heard such kind of Discipline. I hope he doesn't mean jump to 25th floor after workouts.


Then Rest.

Supermans are done without weights. Pretty sure it's supposed to target your lower back. Its done by laying face down on the floor, and then raising your legs and arms and holding, then back down flat. Hard to explain...here Bodybuilding.com - Exercise Guides Database.

Im going to try this routine as a post workout routine with 30 lbs and see how it is.

I always did supermans with a physio ball. Just lay stomach down on the ball and put your feet and hands on the floor. Lift legs and arms simultaneously until they are parallel to the floor. Hold for a moment and release.

SUPERMAN

you don't raise your legs, just lift with your back until you feel that tightness.

sounds like an intense little workout session.

Bro, that's a meat-heads superman. People with even the slightest of flexibility (Real men and woman) do raise their legs and they don't use a triangle position for their hands... hands should be straight out.

I would suggest staying away from that website, your post in the dieting thread regarding meal intake was more of the same. Your sources are shaky and you shouldn't trust them to even wipe your ass, they would probabaly tell you to use a pine cone.

Wouldn't that give you a more fresh feeling, though?
