Dead Bug with Core Engagement

What It Works:

Core anti-flexion, Core anti-rotation, Lumbar stability

How To Do It:

Start laying on your back about 1 foot from a wall. Press your arms into the wall. Lock down your core by pressing your low back into the floor. Maintain this position throughout the entire movement. Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. As you exhale lower one leg down, do not lose low back contact with floor and do not let foot touch the floor. Inhale as you return the leg to the starting position. Repeat on opposite side.
