Description

The Dead Bug is a core exercise that helps improve stability and strength in the abdominal muscles. To perform this exercise, lie on your back with your arms extended towards the ceiling and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Slowly lower your right arm and left leg towards the floor while keeping your lower back pressed into the ground. Return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side. Maintain a controlled movement throughout the exercise to engage the core effectively.
