Let's finish off the workout with an excellent lower back, glute and hamstring exercise. The Superman is one that I recommend is done quite often to improve or prevent low back pain. The stronger your back muscles are, the less stress there will be on your vertebrae, or back bones.

To do the Superman all you'll need is a floor mat or carpeted area.

Lay on the floor mat with your belly down.

Place your hands out in front of you and your arms fully extended behind you.

Now make a big "U" with your back so that your chest and thighs are off the ground.

Your goal is to hold this position for 45 seconds to a minute while maintaining a regular breathing pattern. Perform three sets of the Superman.

You should feel good after completing this moderately intense intermediate level workout.
