What is kneeling superman exercise?

Kneeling superman is a workout for your back extension which helps in building endurance and strength through core, shoulders, hips, hamstrings and glutes. This exercise helps in strengthening the lower back and therefore prevents backache.

How to do it

To perform this exercise you will need a mat. Avoid performing it on a hard surface like a marble floor.

  • Now come on all four hands and legs.
  • Keep your back straight and make sure that your head is in line with your body.
  • Squeeze your abs and glutes and place your right arm forward and stretch while simultaneously stretching the left leg straight back.
  • Hold the position for a while and then return on all fours.
  • Now repeat the same with the other hand and leg.

Apart from the kneeling superman exercise, you can also try these workouts which will not only help in relieving backache, but also strengthen weak muscles.

Lateral Raise

  • Stand with a dumbbell in each hand.
  • Keep your back straight and core tightened.
  • Now slowly lift the weights out to the side until your arms are parallel to the floor.
  • Bend your elbows slightly and now lower your arms slowly.
  • Repeat the process 10 times.

Hamstring Stretches

  • Sit on the ground with your legs stretched out straight.
  • Extend your arms and reach out for the toes by bending your waist.
  • Make sure to keep your knees straight.
  • Hold this position for 30 seconds.
  • Repeat 5 times.

Forward Lunges

  • Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
  • Tighten your core.
  • Take a big step in front with your right leg.
  • Put your weight forward so that your heel hits the floor first.
  • Keep lowering your body until the right thigh is parallel to the floor and right shin is vertical.
  • Put pressure into your right heel to get back up to the starting position.
  • Now repeat on the other side.
  • Do this on both sides 10 times.
