Dead Bug Core Exercise - 3 Progressions

[@Midnightwolf1333]

This right now, is the only core exercise I can actually do without desperately wanting to giving up. Thank you!

[@mikepryor7467]

have you progressed into anything new?

[@bettersubsph]

Very well explained! Quality over quantity when it comes to dead bugs.

[@gregofhonour]

Great explanation of dead bug exercise why and how. I’ve been using this exercise for years, improves my running and skiing. I’m passing this video on to friends and family.

[@BackIntelligence]

Thanks for sharing!

[@busybeez3755]

Many thanks for explaining it thoroughly, dead bug is also my favourite core exercise.

[@CalmVibesVee]

Love seeing the whole progression. Well done thank you.

[@Ivanialedon]

Awesome....my pt had me doing them at the 2nd progression from the start and I had lots of pain....so thanks for the explanation.

[@kateivashova3964]

Hey! Love your videos for real people and real problems. Love how you stress safety and gradual training. Would you please consider doing core strengthening video for post partum and c-sections? There is too much contradicting and potentially damaging info out there.

[@sammymanu7584]

Thank you for this outstanding video. So clear and great pace 🙌🏼

[@annewungsk72]

Thank you for the detail instruction. Can i fold a small towel to support the little natural arch at the lower back?

[@5BeerPlan]

I just put my shirt

[@nualacasey1283]

I came across your site while researching exercise for lower back pain etc.. I love the easy instructions for this exercise. I have one question. I don't have pain in my lower back when I do this but I do have some pain in the right side around the hip which I know is a mixture of tendonitis, arthritis and tightness from sitting (I also watched the video about sitting/standing and it's very helpful🙏). Can I still continue do the dead bug exercise if my hip is hurting?! 🙏 Actually, my hip hurt less as I continued, so hopefully you'll agree that's a good sign!

[@MattiasRayquaza]

Thank you

Thank you 🙂

[@Handle17890]

Awesome explanation

[@timhipolito2560]

When im extending, I feel clicks in my back. Should I stop?

[@MrKirankri]

I had 3-4 vertigo attacks in last 10 years. Interestingly I started observing that it could be due to muscle imbalance I have. I did dead bug for first week and found upper back getting bulged. Next week did a blunder by not using hands. The muscles went up and had a severe vertigo attack. Any help to bring upper back muscles down would be of great help

[@noorashikinahmad6050]

Thanks sir

[@tubenachos]

A must exercise for cycling enthusiasts 😀

[@penelopevanrensburg7638]

How can we use resistant bands to this exercise

[@artstories52]

Is it okay to do this exercise if i have osteoporosis? I know with all exercise i need yo keep my back straight. No bending or rounding.

[@daydreameraj9777]

Should I feel my glutes tighten as I keep my lower back flat on the floor or am I pushing down my spine too much?

[@saric1990]

Why is my right side hip popping when I extend my leg out

[@SURKOfficial]

Very well explained..

[@ariellathrop559]

I feel like I’m getting a thigh workout.

[@paladinheadquarters7776]

Make sure your back is flat, especially your lower back, tense and flat on the ground. You have to force it.

[@worthreviewing]

Confusing when adding the arms. Will get it with practice.

[@brittanycrippen580]

Hi! I was attempting the Dead Bug, and I felt a clicking in my Lumbar when I extended my legs out, on both sides. Is that normal? Or does that mean I need to build my back and core strength? Thank you!

[@BackIntelligence]

Most likely you didn't "brace" your core, and instead you extended through your lumbar spine, which you don't want to do. You don't want to feel your low back, you want to feel your abs only.

[@brittanycrippen2159]

@@BackIntelligence thank you! I will watch the video again and make some adjustments. Thank you! 😁

[@kmgreenrph]

Good

[@frantisekhromek9872]

When breath in and out pls?

[@amitborse5344]

Hi, I am Amit Borse, age 38. I am experiencing pain in my lower back as my disk spaces are narrowing, and the orthopedic doctor told me to do only hip extension exercise. Kindly suggest me dead bug exercise is good or glute bridge exercise. Please reply....

[@TheTripstraps]

thank you so much!!

[@gabor6259]

4:03 "This shouldn't cause you any discomfort." Do I really have to lie on a hard surface?

[@BackIntelligence]

We're using a Yoga Mat to cushion the floor a bit. You can get a Yoga mat that is thicker if you like.

[@celgaerlan1231]

😭😭I can't do it...

[@AJ-md2ju]

While moving my left leg I feel some movement all the way to my back like something tilting!

[@colinsutton7944]

When I was taught this exercise my trainer taught me to keep my low back against the floor? Why is this wrong? She taught me this a a good cue to learn for any exercises lying down

[@sammymanu7584]

What he said is " No movement on your back and it should be neutral. The back position has to be no contact to the floor and not too high from the floor. Check with your hand the space under your back and the floor.

[@depechio]

Great
