How to do it

Begin by lying flat on your back. Keep your back in its natural position without flattening it. This will help you do the dead bug in the most efficient and effective way.

As you brace your abs, your back should be in its natural position with a slight curve in it. Keep in mind, you should be able to fit a few fingers under the curve in your back. Next, extend your arms. Raise your feet, knees and hips.

To execute the movement, lower opposite arm and leg simultaneously. Repeat with the other arm and leg. Once you’ve finished your first arm and leg, lift and lower the other side. This ensures that you develop both sides of your abs and core evenly.
