Tips on performing the “Dead Bug” Exercise

  • Watch our video.
  • Start by lying down on your back (in supine) on an exercise or yoga mat with your knees bent.
  • Keeping your back flat on the table, lift both legs up into tabletop position (your knees and hips should both be bent at 90*).
  • Raise your arms so that that are both pointing straight towards the ceiling.
  • Maintaining contact between the table and your back, extend the right leg forward while raising your left arm overhead.
  • Return your arm and leg to the starting position, then switch to the opposite, alternating the side on which the movement is being performed.
  • Alternate performing the exercise 10-12 times on each side for a total of 2-3 sets.
  • See a CBMW Wellness Staff Member for assistance and more ways to make this exercise harder or easier.
