Superman Row Instructions

  1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms extended out in front of you.
  2. Take a big step forward with your left foot and simultaneously lift your right knee up towards your chest.
  3. As you do this, bring your arms down to your sides and pretend to grab onto a rope.
  4. Next, jump up off your left foot and switch your legs mid-air so that your right foot lands in front of you and your left foot lands behind you.
  5. As you land, swing your arms back up in front of you and pretend to pull the rope towards you.
  6. Repeat this movement, alternating legs and pretending to pull the rope with each jump.
  7. Do 3 sets of 10 reps on each leg for a total of 60 jumps.
