Look within the core: Part 2

The core is a synergistic blend of 29 muscles that stabilize both at the spine and the lumbopelvic junction(LPHC).

Two muscles that need special attention are the transverse abdominis and the multifidus.

In the picture below, dead bug on full roll targets both the transvers abdominis as well as the multifidus. How do you perform the exercise? First, lie on the full roll, then perform an anterior pelvic tilt. From here, keep the transverse abdominis(TVA) engaged and then lift one leg up slowly, lower down and then lift the opposite arm. Now lift the leg and opposite arm. This exercise targets the TVA and the multifidus and is a great stabilizing exercise!
