I really like both these exercises as they focus on the static and endurance component of the lumbar spine and anterior abdominal 'core' whilst moving the arms independently, and CONTRA-LATERALLY. Many core and spine strengthening exercises (which are all great BTW) are either two arms and legs at the same time (ab wheel / supermans), or are complete body static (planks / side planks) or spinal dynamic (curls ups, reverse hypers).

The dead bug and the bird dog help teach your brain and body how to remain stable in the mid section and move the limbs opposite arm to leg like you would when you walk, run and play sport - using the anterior and posterior oblique slings

Dead Bug - for the anterior oblique sling
Bird Dog - for the posterior oblique sling

Also, both these exercises can be advanced of course with band load. 

These was made as a request to shoot a video on anterior and posterior oblique slings. If you want videos on other topics, just let us know in the comments!
