👋 I just wanted to check if ankle weights are okay to use for dead bugs and bridge marches? I'm using ankle weights with Dead Bugs every other day, 1.5KG each ankle. I feel strong enough as Ive been doing phase 2 for a few months now. I still have the disc bulge as i can feel sharp nerve pain here and there like lightening moving about but the sciatica has regressed quite a bit.
We wouldn't recommend using the weights at the level youre at - best focus on getting further through to Phase 3/4 - do get into the members group and we can give you more support there :)
A common mistake is that people strain or flex the 6 pack - we’re really talking about the deeper core muscles that provide stability for the low back - we talk about this and teach it in the candle drill video which would be worth checking out to help you get it right 💪 Here’s the video: ruclips.net/video/QPi0yqUTOuk/видео.html
so informative & easy to understand
Glad you think so! Thank you :)

Hi, when you say engage your core, is that just tensing your stomach muscles? Like trying to flex my none existent six pack? Thanks.

@@BackInShapeProgram Thanks, I will give that a watch.
@@mikeflory1578 No problem :)
Why do i feel my quads so much doing this exercise?
Your sartorius and rectus femoris go into the front of your thigh and will be involved in this movement quite a bit :)
