Resistance Band Anti-Rotation Dead Bug
The dead bug with the arms holding a band that pulls from one side; the legs lower in turn while the trunk refuses to be turned.
How to do it
Setup
On your back side-on to an anchor at the height of the raised hands, the band held in both hands straight over the chest, hips and knees at 90°.
Steps
- Keep the hands locked over the chest against the pull.
- Lower one leg long toward the floor, then bring it back.
- Switch legs each rep; after the set, lie with the anchor on the other side.
Common mistakes
Hands drifting toward the anchor: press them back over the chest. Hips rolling toward the band: keep both hips heavy on the floor. Lower back arching as the leg drops: shorten the reach.
Breathing
Exhale as the leg reaches, inhale bringing it back.
