Just because you have mastered dead bugs does not mean you should progress straight to leg lifts. That is a huge and often too difficult jump to make when it comes to core exercise progression.

Sometimes if you move too soon into something that’s still too hard, you end up recruiting other muscles to help do the work. This can lead to tightness and pain later on. I want you to think about how you can challenge your abs to get the MOST out of a particular exercise. That’s the goal with all exercise, right? Get the most out of our time spent without feeling worse after!

Watch the video to see many different progressions and variations of deadbugs. Test them out, and see which level you’re at right now. Doing the right variation for your body can get your abs burning while progressing you closer to straight leg raises without rectus doming, back or neck pain!

Which variation is best for you? Did you learn any new ones?
