The Dead Bug is a simple and effective exercise to strengthen your entire trunk. Lie flat on your back, then raise your arms straight, hands extended high above your shoulders. Your knees should be bent at 90 degrees, knees stacked over the hips. Picture a beetle on its back with its legs in the air. Lower your right leg and right arm simultaneously, ending with your arm hovering just above the ground above your head and leg fully extended. Keep your core tight and back grounded on the floor as you elongate your right side. Return slowly to the beetle position and swap sides, engaging your full body with intention.
