• How do I execute each exercise correctly?

  • Unfortunately, I couldn't find specific clips from the Huberman Lab detailing the execution of McGill's Big Three exercises. However, I can provide a general guide based on known methods for these exercises:

    1. Curl-Up:

      • Lie on your back with one leg straight and the other bent at the knee.
      • Place both hands under the lumbar area of your lower back to maintain a natural curve.
      • Gently lift your head and shoulders off the ground, keeping your neck in a neutral position.
      • Hold the position for a few seconds before lowering your head and shoulders back down.
    2. Side Plank:

      • Lie on your side with knees bent and feet stacked.
      • Place your forearm on the ground, elbow directly under your shoulder.
      • Engage your core and lift your hips off the ground, maintaining a straight line from shoulder to knee.
      • Hold the position without letting your hips drop, ensuring your body is in alignment.
    3. Bird Dog:

      • Start on your hands and knees, with your hands under shoulders and knees under hips.
      • Extend one arm forward and the opposite leg backward without letting the hips twist or dip.
      • Keep your spine neutral to avoid arching your back.
      • Hold for a few seconds then switch to the opposite arm and leg.

    Ensuring proper form is important to prevent injury and maximize the benefits of these exercises. For more detailed guidance, consulting a physical therapist or watching instructional videos may be beneficial.
