Dead Bug with Dumbbell

This is an advanced variation of the dead bug.

1. Assume the dead bug position, focusing on the low back being as flat as possible against the floor and core engaged with your ribs locked down. The only difference is that you are holding a dumbbell in your hands and pressing it out above your head at eye-level.
2. As one leg lowers down to the ground, you will lower the dumbbell down to the ground above your head.
3. Repeat on each side for the programmed number of reps.

NOTE: Choose a light weight at first and advance by increasing the weight as you increase strength and stability.

OBSERVATION: I highly recommend you flex your feet as you perform this dead bug variation. The more tension you have throughout your body, the better you will be able to perform this movement. I didn't flex my feet at the time of recording because I've since learned of the importance of this. #alwayslearning
