It&#8217;s a great exercise for all fitness levels, with several variations that can be done to increase or decrease the intensity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While performing the Superman, you have to be careful not to hyperextend your back. While the back extension is a vital component of this exercise, overdoing it can lead to injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other common mistakes to avoid include looking up (your neck should remain in a neutral position) and moving too quickly (move slowly and deliberately to hit the right muscles).
