Dead bugs work the core, specifically, the deepest core abdominal muscles called thetransverse abdominis.
Keep these bridges slow and controlled.
Focus on really using your glutes to do the movement.
The glute bridge is a horizontal hip extension movement that targets your hamstrings and glutes.
Making it a single-leg movement adds an extra core stability challenge.
The deadlift is a hip hinge movement that targets the glutes and hamstrings.
It also works muscles in the core and back.

It also requires core engagement, especially when you’re doing this single-arm version.
The goblet squat works the glutes, quads, core, and hamstrings.

Here youre working the full body, especially the core muscles, says Tamir.
If 30 doesn’t feel challenging for you, try holding for 45 seconds or a minute.
