  • Exactly as it states! A workout involving primarily DEADBUG variations to target and strengthen the abdominal muscles and entire core!
    The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 6kg each!
    The timer will be on for 40 seconds of work, with 5 seconds rest inbetween each exercise!
    BODYWEIGHT DEADBUG (one side)
    SWITCH SIDE!
    STRAIGHT LEG DEADBUG (switch side)
    SWITCH SIDE!
    DUMBBELL DEADBUG (switch side)
    SWITCH SIDE!
    DUMBBELL STRAIGHT LEG (switch side)
    SWITCH SIDE!
    HOLD! (switch side)
    HOLD! (switch side)
    DOUBLE DEADBUG
    STRAIGHT LEG DOUBLE DEADBUG
    TOE REACH
    LEG LOWERS
    TOE REACH TO LEG LOWER
    ALTERNATING DEADBUG!
    Why DEADBUG? It is one of my favourite exercises for how I am able to concentrate on bracing my core, apply resistance whilst resisting movement therefore improving stabilisation but also stability during dynamic movements involving the limbs! And then there is the co-ordination involved! 😉
    A simple way I suggest to think about bracing the core is to imagine you are going to prepare for impact! Perhaps a sudden impact to the stomach. You would reactively and automatically brace!
    Also, press that lower back into the mat throughout!! Extra focus when lowering the legs at any point!
    I hope you love this DEADBUG routine as much as I did!! I will be revisiting it soon no doubt!

    Done✔️. Did this after the 30min. Constant Cardio. Getting the hang of it..made sure lower back's pressed on the mat. When it came to holds..oh wow. It hurts 😆. Then wanted to hug my knees a lot but pushed through. One of the most challenging and loved it. Going to do this again to improve.

    Good morning everyone ! I’m French and I was wondering why deadbugs are actually called “deadbug”? I did not find the answer but I learnt that this exercise was introduced by a Spine researcher Stuart McGill, and according to his research , doing deadbugs rather than crunchs or sit-ups is better for core strength. It is also good for reducing back pain. ☺️
    Thank you Caroline for providing us such qualitative workouts ! 🙌🏼❤️

      @olyakvitko2903 2 года назад

      That's may be not the smartest (and not the right one) explanation, but I guess, it's called "deadbug" simply because this body position reminds actual dead bugs, which are lying on their back with lifted up limbs when they're dead😄

I can remember how strong I felt last time I did this workout, and while I'm not quite there anymore, its still cool to know that I can even move weights in this range of motion, let alone 5kg for almost all of the workout.

    I have to be careful with ab exercises since I slipped my disc twice from workouts. So my favorite ab exercise now is dead bugs. I use them to warm up and also as my main ab exercise, starting basic then adding variations. Working back to some crunches, but so far really happy with how much that one exercise strengthened my core and improved my workouts. Thanks, Caroline!

    Today I could actually feel my lower back remaining connected to the mat - and that was such a wonderful victory to have after incorporating direct abs training into my routine again for about a month.
    Thanks, Caroline!
    Your workouts have made such a difference in my life and I'm so grateful for all of your efforts.
    Wishing you every success!
    Much love from South Africa

    Caroline manages to challenge us for 12 minutes with a basic exercise 🔝 because the continuous press that lower back into the mat is not as easy as it looks if you want to do it properly, but it was a lot of fun and I will definitely do it again. 👋🏼

    I must say that, if you respect the correct execution of the movement, these 12 minutes of Deadbug are tough! Very challenging! Thanks Caroline, lately your abs workout are more than ever fantastic🌟!

    Loved this deadbug routine! The music on the first set made me giggle. It was perfect! Sounded exactly like what I think of when I hear the word “deadbug”. I had a little trouble with the coordination because of my “foggy morning brain”…I kept thinking, wait a minute, is this hand supposed to be up and which leg goes back? Took me a bit to figure that out every time! 🤪. It was so much fun though. Definitely be doing this one again.
