Wall-press dead bug
IntermediateCoreOn the floor
Set-up
Lie on your back with your head near the wall, press both palms into it overhead and lift your knees above your hips.
How to do it
- Keep pressing into the wall and slowly reach one leg long, just above the floor.
- Breathe out as the leg reaches; draw it back in and switch.
- Only go as low as your back stays still.
In a Wallform routine: about 8 reaches per leg, or move at your own pace until the timer ends. Switch sides as you go.
Make it easier or harder
- Easier: Wall-press heel taps
- Harder: Single-leg lowers
Wallform is general fitness, not medical advice. If you're pregnant or postpartum, recovering from an injury or have a health condition, check with a doctor or a qualified professional before you start. Stop any move that hurts.
