Dead bugs are a core-strength staple because they train your body to stay stable while your arms and legs move—just like real life.
Why they work:
🔒 Build deep core strength (transverse abdominis)
🧠 Improve mind-muscle connection & control
🦴 Protect the low back by teaching proper bracing
🏃♀️ Carry over to running, lifting, and daily movement
⚖️ Improve coordination & balance
Bottom line:
Dead bugs teach your core to do its job—stabilize—without compensating.
Small movement. Big payoff. 💪
