Running Series Video 14: Deadbug

The dead bug exercise is crucial for runners as it strengthens the core while promoting proper spinal alignment and stability. This exercise helps improve coordination between the upper and lower body, enhancing overall movement efficiency. A strong core supports better posture during running, reduces the risk of injuries, and allows for more powerful strides. Incorporating dead bugs into your routine can lead to improved performance and greater endurance on your runs.

In this video, Athletic Therapist Michelle Meckling demonstrates the common deadbug exercise and how you can progress it to challenge your core.
