A month made for resetting, many of us enter the new year with a specific health or fitness goal in mind. Mine this year? To be able to do a barbell squat and work my core without it absolutely killing my lower back. And according to experts, doing dead bugs every day will help me achieve both.
Like most tall people (I'm a little bit over six feet), a lot of my back issues are caused by having to crouch and slouch far more than the average person. Plus, I've also got a fair bit of hypermobility in my spine - so it's safe to say that I'm pretty used to my lower back getting in the way of my workouts.
