About

It is a workout that can develop from the core to the muscles in the front of the thigh. Please note that the arms and legs going down are in the opposite direction!

How to Dead Bug

Starting Position

1. Please lie down comfortably on the floor.

2. Bend your knees and lift your legs so that your thighs are perpendicular to the floor.

3. At this time, make sure there is no space between your lower back and the floor.

4. Bend your ankles towards your body and stretch both arms towards the ceiling.

Proper Form

1. Lie on your back looking at the sky, stretch your arms out perpendicular to the ground, and bend your knees at a 90-degree angle.

2. Lower one arm and the opposite leg, then return to the starting position.

3. Exercise the opposite side in the same way.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when lowering your arms and legs, and inhale when raising them.

Precautions

This is an exercise that shows effects when done slowly. Holding the position with your arms and legs stretched out for about 1 to 2 seconds can maximize the exercise's effectiveness.
