Supermans/Womans
Lie on your stomach with arms outstretched in front of you and legs behind you. Tighten abs and gently lift arms and legs a few inches off the ground. Be sure to gently lift the neck and head at the same time. Start with one second lifts, 10 times and progress to 20 second holds, three times.
Modification: lift arms and legs separately, one then the other
Challenge: while arms and legs are lifted, bring them towards each other, making a star shape and hold before returning to the midline
