I’m calling it standard simply because you’ll probably see this variation most often when using search engines to find the dead bug exercise. I’m assuming all variations will say lay on your back (if I find one that doesn’t I’ll note it but from here on out let’s assume we’re on the back) and lift you legs off the ground bending at the knees. Your ...
I’m klutzy and struggle with left / right patterns. To make sure my brain doesn’t get tripped up during the movement I stick to one side for 30 seconds then do the other side for 30 seconds. No altering sides. Left leg / right arm for 30 seconds straight. Then Right leg / left arm for 30 seconds straight. Similar concept to a single arm kettlebell ...
This time we’re playing off the legs only variation first. Cross your arms on your chest, bring your legs off the ground, getting that 90 degree bend at both the hips and ankles. Slowly kick one leg out to fully extended then return to the 90 degree bend. The good thing here are common mistakes explained. Try to keep your low back flat on the groun...
This is a progression of the bent knee variation. This will require additional strength in your lower ab region and some mobility through your legs (tight hip flexorswill more than likely cause an issue here.) Instead of having your knees bent, extend your legs so now both your arms and your legs are going straight up into the air. Same alternating...
HowCast has a starting point for the straight leg deadbug. Start off in bridge position (knees bent, feet on the floor with arms at your sides.) Now lift 1 leg off the ground while keeping the other foot in contact with the ground. You’re also going to move the alternate arm from your side to above and behind your head. Instead of alternating sides...
Yes I am randomly including or removing the space between dead bug and deadbug. This variation is the same hips and knees at 90 degrees. Now instead of having your arms straight up you also want to bend your elbows to 90 degrees (your hands will go towards your head, elbows are now pointed towards your knees.) This variation is good to know for whe...
I really want to call this a double crunch or a variation on the hollow hold. The end range on this is essentially a hollow hold, with arms and legs extended away from the body. The video below has arms similar to T-rex arms is the best way I can describe. End range on the legs is the same as the standard deadbug, with the arm’s end range being the...
Now totally eliminating the cross pattern of the dead bug (which I’m fairly confident the purpose of the dead bug is to work cross patterns and the top google result agrees with me), with fully extended arms and legs move both at the same time (it’s a flat backed V Up.)
We’re pretty much in hollow hold / knees in and out territory again. Arms fully extended behind you, bring both knees in towards the chest then push them out to fully extended. I more than likely wouldn’t consider this a dead bug but it came up in a Youtube search so I’m including it on the list. There’s nothing wrong with hollow holds / knees in a...
It took me 3 tries on YouTube to find someone using a yoga blockwho understood the dead bug is a cross pattern (opposite arm opposite leg) exercise. The other two videos had same arm same leg holding the block so they were extending same arm same leg out. While still a core exercise, we lost the benefits of the cross pattern (as some of the variati...
