Dead Bug
- Begin by lying flat on your back on a yoga mat or a comfortable surface.
- Extend your arms straight up toward the ceiling with your palms facing each other.
- Lift your legs off the ground, bending your knees at a 90-degree angle so that your calves are parallel to the floor.
- Engage your abdominal muscles by pressing your lower back into the floor to protect your spine.
- Simultaneously lower your right arm backward toward the floor behind your head and your left leg toward the floor, straightening it.
- Keep both arm and leg just above the ground without touching it.
- Return your right arm and left leg to the starting position.
- Repeat the movement, this time lowering your left arm and right leg toward the floor.
- Keep alternating between your right arm and left leg and your left arm and right leg, mimicking the movement of a dead bug.
- Perform the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
