WALL PRESS DEAD BUG
The wall press dead bug exercise is used to build core endurance and to dissociate movement between the hip and spine. Lie down 90 degrees to the wall and on your back. Place your fists or palms against the wall overhead with your elbows in line with your shoulders. Press into the wall with your arms and raise your legs with knees bent to 90 degrees and in line with the hips. Extend your leg one at a time, alternating sides. Extend until just above floor level, hold for 3-5 seconds, and pull it back to start position.
