How to do the Dead Bug
- Begin by lying flat on your back with your arms extended straight up towards the ceiling and your legs lifted with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
- Engage your core and slowly lower your right arm and left leg towards the floor, keeping your back flat on the floor and not allowing it to arch.
- Return your right arm and left leg to the starting position.
- Repeat the movement with your left arm and right leg. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability and support your lower back.
- Avoid letting your leg touch the floor; keep it just above the floor to maintain tension in your muscles.
- Ensure your lower back remains pressed into the floor to avoid unnecessary strain.
