Dead bug pulldown

Connect trunk control with a light band pull while the limbs move slowly.

Form cues

  • Keep ribs gently down.
  • Pull the band toward the thighs without arching.
  • Extend one leg only as far as control allows.

Common mistakes

  • Letting the back arch off the floor.
  • Pulling the band with the neck and shoulders.
  • Rushing both legs at once.

Intermediate adjustment

Regression: remove the band or shorten the leg reach. Progression: use a slightly stronger band or extend the opposite arm and leg together.
