Goodbye, plank - I swapped my exercises for dead bugs, now my core's stronger than ever

I swapped the classic plank for a dead bug - a similar exercise that works the core, hip flexors, lower back, and pelvic floor - and after a month of routine, I'm never going back

The plank is a failsafe core exercise. It works the core muscles and helps with stability. However, it's not everyone's favourite - me included.
