Dead Bug (Stability Ball)

How to do it

1. Lie on your back holding a stability ball between your hands and knees, arms extended toward the ceiling and knees bent 90 degrees.
2. Press your lower back flat into the floor and brace the core before beginning.
3. Slowly lower one arm and the opposite leg away from the ball while keeping light pressure squeezed into it, then return to center.
4. Switch sides, maintaining steady pressure against the ball throughout to keep the shoulders and hips engaged.
5. Exhale as you extend away from center and inhale as you draw back in.
6. A common fault is letting the ball drift or the lower back lift off the floor, keep both fixed throughout the set.
