This is a deceptively difficult progression of the dead bug exercise. Hold a ball between the palms of your hands and the tops of your knees, while also making sure your back is flat to the ground and your core is engaged (ribs toward pelvis). Then alternately reach one arm and the opposite leg out and bring them back in. Pressing into the ball with the hand and knee that don’t move help to keep your core very engaged. Don’t forget to breathe – out when you reach the leg and arm, in when you bring them back.
