Trunk Strength - Dead Bug

Dead bugs are a great exercise for trunk (core) strength. Aim to stabilise the trunk whilst still moving freely, in a controlled fashion through the shoulders and hips.

Start with 3 sets of 5 on each side. Use leg movements only to begin with, then arms, then a combination of both. You can increase reps, or utilise resistance bands to increase the difficulty and intensity of the exercise!

At Motus Life we program dead bugs into your Strength & Conditioning sessions often.

Our Osteopaths love to prescribe them to help with mid and lower back pain as well as hip and pelvic stability.
