Workout like a Superhero: Superman

Super beings don’t just come from outer space. They can also be made on Earth provided you’re willing to put yourself through your paces and max your performance in this workout. Now, for the record, you may not quite be able to move faster than a speeding bullet or leap tall buildings in a single bound afterwards, as a matter of fact, if you did things right you may not even be able to get up off the floor without some help, but you will definitely feel like your body’s supercharged, each muscle thrumming with potential, your abilities suddenly enhanced. It may not put you in quite the same class as Superman but at least you know that your strengths work regardless of the colour of the sun and you’re immune to Kryptonite.

Here’s the Superman Bodyweight Workout:

Superman Bodyweight Workout Routine:

The Superman Bodyweight Workout Routine includes:

40 High Knees

20 Fly steps
20 Squats

10 Push-ups
30sec Elbow plank
10 Arm lifts
40 Climbers

20sec Star plank
10 Superman

What it works: quads, calves, aerobic capacity, cardiovascular system, front hip flexors, triceps, core, lateral abdominals, glutes, lower back.

Tips: When performing the elbow plank keep looking forward. Do not raise your head too high and do not drop it and let your chin tuck towards your chest. This helps maintain great posture.

Circuit Training:

Circuit training means that you do the workout over and over. You do one set of each exercise, then move onto the next exercise. Using your own bodyweight becomes harder the more circuits you do. The number of circuits right for you depends on your fitness level. Try to start with Level I or II, and work your way up to Level III or beyond.

• Level I: Do 3 sets
• Level II: 5 sets
• Level III: 7 sets
• Rest up to 2 minutes

Catch your breath (rest) for up to 2 minutes between each round. Reduce this amount of time to unlock and harness the true power of bodyweight circuit training. You will find that shortening your rest periods turns this into a HIIT workout. HIIT workouts are the best way to burn fat. Increase the fat-burning aspect of circuit training by slowly minimizing the amount of rest between circuits.
