The Standing Pelvic Tilt is an exercise that targets the hip flexors, lower back, and core muscles. It helps improve posture, strengthen the lower body, and increase flexibility in the pelvis and lower back.
How to perform
To perform the Standing Pelvic Tilt exercise, follow these steps:1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
2. Place your hands on your hips or let them hang by your sides.
3. Engage your core muscles by pulling your navel in towards your spine.
4. Slowly tilt your pelvis forward, arching your lower back slightly and pushing your hips forward.
5. Hold the tilt for a few seconds and then slowly return to the starting position.
6. Next, tilt your pelvis backward, rounding your lower back and tucking your pelvis under.
7. Hold this position for a few seconds before returning to the starting position.
8. Repeat these movements, alternating between tilting your pelvis forward and backward, for 10-15 repetitions.
Remember to keep your movements controlled and focus on engaging your core muscles throughout the exercise. It is important to maintain proper alignment and avoid overarching or rounding your back excessively. You can also perform this exercise seated on a stability ball or with your back against a wall for added support.
