Supermans
The superman exercise is focusing on body weight, and it is known for targeting the lower back. Even so, “this exercise will force your lower back to overextend multiple times, and only contributes to bad patterns and even more back pain”, as Cheng explained.
As a better alternative, you can try doing reverse back extensions, which will allow your back to extend completely without hyperextending it. Plus, they also tighten your glutes and core, which will only help support your lower back and prevent pain. Instead, try to lie down on your stomach on top of a stability ball, while keeping your hands and feet on the ground, hip-distance apart.

I think instead of parties continuously fighting themselves, blaming the other, wasting time on irrelevent issues that mean nothing to the welfare of its citizens. Stop trying to raise retirement age, the underprivileged work hard enough trying to get there. LEAVE YOUR HANDS OUT OF IT, STOP USEING IT FOR YOUR DOWNFALLS.
behind neck press is only a problem if you go to WIDE.!!!!
Hi
Saying that crunches is bad, and that people can build a strong core without doing exercises that target the abs is flat out wrong. Very bad advice. Crunches are one of the most important exercises a person can do. Do most people do them perfectly? No. Still they’re incredibly valuable, because at the end of the day, supporting your core is one of the most important outcomes of any exercise regimen. I like having bigger biceps , but that’s all just for looks!
What is the point of giving alternate exercises if you don’t show what they look like?
