Exercise Description

The reverse crunch to dead bug exercise builds core strength while training stability. It targets your abs and hip flexors for better movement control.

How To

1. Start on your back, knees bent at 90 degrees, arms reaching up toward the ceiling 2. Perform a reverse crunch by bringing your knees toward your chest, lifting your hips slightly off the ground 3. Lower back to starting position with control, keeping your core engaged throughout 4. Transition into dead bug by slowly lowering your right arm overhead while extending your left leg straight 5. Return to center and repeat the reverse crunch to dead bug sequence on the opposite side

Form Tips

• Keep your lower back pressed into the floor during both movements to protect your spine • Move slowly and controlled - this reverse crunch to dead bug combo is about quality, not speed • Breathe out during the crunch phase and breathe in as you extend into the dead bug position • Keep your core tight throughout the entire reverse crunch to dead bug movement to maximize results

Common Mistakes

• Rushing through the reverse crunch to dead bug movement instead of focusing on controlled motion • Allowing your lower back to arch when extending your arm and leg during the dead bug portion • Using momentum instead of core strength to perform the reverse crunch to dead bug exercise
