Dead Bug
Text cues are the instruction
No demonstration video yet. Kalyra will not use AI-generated imagery as form instruction — demonstrations arrive only as reviewed performer footage or validated animation. Until then, the step-by-step cues and setup checks on this page are the complete instruction.
⚠ High-stakes movement: any future video for this exercise requires professional safety review before release — Kalyra will not publish unchecked demonstrations of anchored, jumping, or pregnancy-sensitive movements.
- Back-lying positionsKalyra takes a conservative approach and currently holds back exercises lying flat on your back (for example, after the first trimester of pregnancy).
Form cues
- On your back: arms up, knees stacked over hips
- Lower opposite arm and leg while the low back stays flat
- Return and switch; move only as far as you can control
Common errors
- ✗ Back arching as the leg extends
- ✗ Rushing the reps
How Kalyra programs it
Builds trunk stability (anti extension) so the rest of your training transfers to real movement — carried with strict volume caps.
Typically 2–4 sets of 8–10 reps per side.
Easier · Harder · Substitutions
No easier regression on file.
