N/AThe pelvic tilt is a simple exercise that targets the muscles of the lower back and the core.
Proper form:
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground.
- Flatten your lower back against the ground by tilting your pelvis backwards.
- Hold for a few seconds, then release.
- Arch your lower back by tilting your pelvis forwards.
- Hold for a few seconds, then release.
- Repeat the exercise, alternating between tilting your pelvis forwards and backwards.
How to reduce difficulty: If you find the exercise difficult, you can start by only tilting your pelvis backwards and holding the position for a longer period of time.
