Dead Bugs
- Lie on your back and extend your hands straight up towards the ceiling. If you can touch the ceiling, your arms are far too long or you live in a very short house.
- Bring your knees up and bend your legs so that your shins are parallel to the floor.
- As you extend one leg out straight, allow the opposite arm to slowly fall towards the floor.
- Then, bring your arm and leg back to the starting position and repeat on the other side!
