Exactly as it states! A workout involving primarily DEADBUG variations to target and strengthen the abdominal muscles and entire core!
The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 6kg each!
The timer will be on for 40 seconds of work, with 5 seconds rest inbetween each exercise!

ALTERNATING DEADBUG!
Why DEADBUG? It is one of my favourite exercises for how I am able to concentrate on bracing my core, apply resistance whilst resisting movement therefore improving stabilisation but also stability during dynamic movements involving the limbs! And then there is the co-ordination involved! 
A simple way I suggest to think about bracing the core is to imagine you are going to prepare for impact! Perhaps a sudden impact to the stomach. You would reactively and automatically brace!
Also, press that lower back into the mat throughout!! Extra focus when lowering the legs at any point!
I hope you love this DEADBUG routine as much as I did!! I will be revisiting it soon no doubt!

Thank you so much for your dedication , an impecable work outs. I left Pilates reformer since I was getting all saggy! And look for something else , and you popped up. At 63 I am starting to feel as fit I was at 30. Any love handles work outs? I cannot use weights for my work out waist line and love hangers because it will make me look more even thicker. Thanks

Done!
longest 12 minutes of my life
Loved this one! Will save it to do it once a week with Iron.
I have never been challenged with the dead bug exercise … but this workout got me! I love it. I can’t believe I haven’t done this one before. Definitely going to add it in a couple of times a week with my regular routine!
2024 anyone?
The best part of the workout is Caroline's hearty smile at the end & waving at us
