Core Stabilization with the "Dead Bug" Progression

The Dead Bug is an underrated core move that helps improve spinal alignment and core coordination without straining the lower back.

Try this progression:

Level 1 – Arm Movements Only: Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat. Extend your arms toward the ceiling. Lower one arm behind your head slowly, return, then switch arms.

Level 2 – Legs in Tabletop: Lift both legs to tabletop position. Perform alternating arm movements while keeping your core braced.

Level 3 – Full Dead Bug: Extend the opposite arm and leg simultaneously (right arm + left leg), bring them back, then switch. Ensure your lower back stays pressed into the floor the entire time.

✅ 3 sets of 10 slow reps per side for maximum core activation
