Jeremy ,I know this exersise in another form :you are on your knees ,Arms extended to the ground ,as if you were going to do push ups .The “Alternate arm and leg lift “is don e from the kneeling position .
Do the two exersises provide the same benefits ?
To ” beef up “” the drill ,you CAN hold a light dumbell -2,5 lbs- in the lifting hand and strap weights on the ankles !
Hi Raymond,
The exercise you’re referring to “Bird Dogs” is a bit easier. When you’re prone like the Superman exercise position the arm and leg lift are forced to move into a more extreme range of motion.
