Benefits of Deadbugs

March 27, 2017Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Deadbugs can go a long way in improving lumbo-pelvic-hip stabilizers as well as helping to push more posterior pelvic tilting, which most all athletes can benefit from. Add in some diaphragmatic breathing and a really good code exercise becomes even better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZx2Fjq_el8 Performing a … Continue reading Benefits of Deadbugs
