Resistance-Band Upper Body Dead Bug

1. Lie on your back with your arms extended towards the ceiling, holding onto a resistance band that is anchored above you (not visible in the images).

2. Bring your knees up so they are bent at a 90-degree angle, directly above your hips.

3. Engage your core by pressing your lower back into the floor to eliminate any gap.

4. Slowly extend one arm back towards the ground, alongside your head, while simultaneously extending the opposite leg out straight, just above the floor.

5. Keep the movement slow and controlled, focusing on maintaining the core engagement and not allowing your lower back to arch.

6. Return to the starting position and repeat with the opposite arm and leg.

7. Alternate sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Make sure to breathe steadily throughout the exercise, exhaling as you extend your arm and leg, and inhaling as you return to the starting position. Adjust the resistance of the band as needed to ensure the exercise is challenging yet allows for proper form throughout.
