One may superset any body parts together. It is ideal to use opposing body parts, such as [[chest]] and [[back]] or [[biceps]] and [[triceps]]. The reason for this is that due to [[recipricol inhibition]], the non-working muscles are not only rested, but are actively being relaxed while their [[antagonist]]s work. Their pre-exhaustion also allows better activation of the working [[agonist]] muscles as there would be less [[tightness]] to oppose or de-activate their [[contractions]].

Supersets allow a lot of work to be done in a short period of time. They induce greater [[cardio]]vascular work, which helps you to burn more calories and burn fat, and can compensate for traditional forms of cardio. Studies also show a shift in substrate oxidation{{fact}}, which means that you're also burning more [[fat]].

Putting together a superset workout is as easy as choosing movements that work opposing muscles or opposing motions, so that one is better able to work those muscles with greater intensity.
