ON3 deadbug variations to add to your core exercises!
For all of these, you will want to INHALE when your arms and legs are up & EXHALE when you lower an arm/leg.
Keep your spine & pelvis stable as you move your arms & legs!
1️⃣ Modified deadbug with ball squeeze at the top: get your core firing with this one!
This variation is great for people who: have difficulty or pain with traditional dead bugs, or need to get their core firing before doing traditional dead bugs.
Add in the small ball squeeze when you lower your leg.
Before progressing to the traditional deadbug, try it with a straight leg first!
2️⃣ Traditional deadbug: what everyone knows as the deadbug!
This is a classic exercise to get the core engaged.
Time your breath with movement, and get your arms/legs moving in alternating coordination patterns (which we do every day when we walk).
3️⃣ Deadbug with stability ball: if you’ve mastered the traditional variation and are wondering “what’s next?” This is for you!
Grab a large enough exercise ball and keep it stable while alternating your arms & legs.
Remember to pay attention to your breath.
There are so many deadbug variations, but the most important part is HOW you do them!
