Exercise Library/ holds per-exercise reference docs (setup, cues, mistakes, progressions) with SVG visuals and a Python-rendered motion pipeline; Workouts/ExerciseFigure renders the bundled *.motion.json rigs as animated stick figures on the exercise screen. Exercises gain a warm-up/main-circuit category, timed exercises display hold time via planSummary, and a completed exercise reopens to a check screen instead of its timers.

# Dead Bug
|
||
|
||
Anti-extension drill — the limbs move while the trunk stays perfectly still.
|
||
|
||
- **Category:** Warm-up
|
||
- **Type:** Anti-extension
|
||
- **Targets:** Deep core (transverse abdominis), hip flexor control
|
||
- **Prescription:** 8 per side, slow and controlled
|
||
|
||
## Setup
|
||
|
||
Lie on your back. Arms straight up over the shoulders, hips and knees bent to
|
||
90°, lower back pressed into the floor.
|
||
|
||
## Execution
|
||
|
||
1. Brace and exhale as you lower one arm overhead and the *opposite* leg toward
|
||
the floor.
|
||
2. Stop just before the lower back peels off the floor.
|
||
3. Return under control and switch sides.
|
||
|
||
## Cues
|
||
|
||
- Lower back glued to the floor the entire time — that contact *is* the exercise.
|
||
- Slow negatives; the reach out should take 2–3 seconds.
|
||
- Ribs down, no flaring as the arm goes overhead.
|
||
|
||
## Common Mistakes
|
||
|
||
- Arching the lower back as the leg lowers.
|
||
- Moving arm and leg on the same side.
|
||
- Rushing reps and turning it into a flutter kick.
|
||
|
||
## Progression
|
||
|
||
Heels sliding on floor → bent-knee reach → straight-leg reach → both legs
|
||
lowering together → light weight held overhead
