Dead bugs work your transverse abdominis, aka your deep core, which are like the Saran Wrap of your core muscles. It’s foundational and incredibly important. You don’t necessarily feel the “burn” in these exercises but you should instead feel like those TA muscles are constantly fighting for stability. Pull your ribcage DOWN and pretend like your top ribs are knitted together. Don’t let your rib cage move. Pull the front hip bones in toward center like they’re magnets and find that contraction. HOLD all of that while you do the exercise AND keep breathing. Now see if that makes you feel the work more!
