@elevatefitwellness: The dead bug is a lesson in maintaining **core integrity by** keeping your trunk organized while your limbs move. A few key details make all the difference: - Squeeze the block with your elbows to create full-body tension. - Gently draw your rib cage and pelvis toward each other to maintain a stacked position. - Keep breathing. Your breath should support the movement. Want to progress the exercise? Try bringing your knees directly over your hips into a true tabletop position. Then, instead of squeezing the block with your elbows, hold it between your hands. This demands even more control because your trunk has to stabilize with less assistance from your upper body. Remember: Great core training is about teaching your body to resist unwanted movement while you breathe, move, and stay in control. That’s what builds a stronger, more resilient core. #CoreTraining #DeadBug #CoreStrength #MovementQuality #FunctionalMovement #WomenOver40 Original video on this exercise explained and demoed by @alignperformance
