Superman angels
Backintermediaterepsno equipment
From a superman (arms, chest and legs lifted a few centimetres off the floor), the straight arms sweep wide just above the floor from overhead down to the hips and back, like a snow angel, while the chest and legs stay up.
How to do it
- Lie face down with the arms straight overhead and the legs straight.
- Lift the arms, chest and legs a few centimetres off the floor, neck long, eyes to the floor.
- Keeping the elbows straight and the arms off the floor, sweep them out to the sides and down to the hips, squeezing the shoulder blades.
- Sweep them back overhead the same way, keeping the chest and legs lifted.
- 6-10 slow reps, then lower and rest.
