How to do dead bugs correctly — what is the exercise actually training?
The goal isn’t to get your leg as close to the floor as possible. It’s to control your trunk while your limbs move.
As you extend one leg, your abdominals have to work to resist unwanted movement through the pelvis and lumbar spine. If your ribs flare and your low back starts arching, you’ve likely gone beyond the range you can currently control.
Fix your dead bug:
• Stack your ribs over your pelvis
• Brace your abdominal wall
• Keep your arms reaching toward the ceiling
• Slowly extend one leg
• Stop the range before you lose trunk position
A shorter, controlled reach is more useful than a longer reach you can’t control.
Research examining dead bug and other lumbar-stabilization exercises has demonstrated substantial trunk-muscle activation during these movements, supporting their use as a trunk-control exercise.
Control first. Range second.

Here’s some super helpful info that you’re going to want to save!
TISSUE HEALING
🤕When an individual sustains an injury, one of the first questions asked is, “How long will it take until I am back to normal?” The difficult part of injuries is that there are certain components of them we are unable to control, such as our age, the type of tissue that was injured, blood supply to a specific tissue, and the extent of damage that was done.
🙌However, what we can control is enhancing our understanding of tissue healing, and how to optimize healing times by avoiding factors that could slow the normal healing process.
As our bodies go through the healing process we go through 3 key phases of recovery, here is a quick breakdown:
1️⃣ Inflammatory Phase (0-7 days): The body’s immediate response to injury: swelling, redness, & sometimes pain.
2️⃣ Proliferative Phase (7-21 days): New tissue begins to form. Movement & direct tissue loading is key during these next two phases.
3️⃣ Remodeling Phase (3 weeks to 12 months): The new tissue strengthens & matures. Gradual return to full activity is important to prevent re-injury. 🏋️♀️
‼️It’s important to note that different tissues heal at different rates! And more importantly, the severity of the injury also impacts the length of recovery. You’ll notice that the range of healing times is quite large! So please - respect that you may recover faster or slower than your friend with the “same injury”.
There are so many factors that go into recovery - but a good understand of tissue healing timelines is definitely the place to start for both clinicians & patients.

Discipline is doing what needs to be done, even when you don't feel like it. Your mood changes every day, but your goals don't. The people who achieve extraordinary results aren't always the most motivated—they're the most consistent. Stay committed to the plan, especially on the days you don't feel like showing up. That's where real progress is made. 💯🔥
