Dead Bug

CoreAbs, Hip flexors

Lie on your back and slowly extend the opposite arm and leg while keeping your low back flat on the floor.

How to do it

  • Low back pressed into the floor the whole time
  • Move slowly and breathe out as you extend
  • Opposite arm and leg move together
  • Return to center before switching

Watch out for

  • Low back arching off the floor
  • Rushing the reps

Make it easier

Keep the knees bent and tap the heel to the floor instead of straightening the leg.
