Hey Queen! Here are some cues I use for dead bugs:
- Press your lower back into the floor by tilting your pelvis forward.
- Inhale through your nose before beginning the movement and exhale during the movement itself (your leg extending and returning to the beginning position)
- Mind to muscle connection: you want to think about your core extending (becoming longer) and then shortening.
Optional modifications
- Place something small under your lower back/tailbone to lift your hips higher (it can be a pillow, small foam roller)
- You can also try gently lifting your head off if the floor for additional core activation (if you notice a ‘coning’ in your core - do not do this modification)
I hope this helps Queen, feel free to let me know if you need a different explanation 🤗
