I have anterior pelvic tilt. What are good core exercises other than the plank?

Anterior pelvic tilt (APT) is a condition in which the pelvis is tilted forward, causing the lower back to arch and the abdomen to protrude. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and muscle imbalances.

The plank is a great exercise for strengthening the core, but it can be difficult for people with APT to do correctly. This is because the plank requires you to keep your pelvis in a neutral position, which can be difficult if your pelvis is tilted forward.

There are a number of other core exercises that are good for people with APT. These exercises help to strengthen the muscles that support the pelvis and keep it in a neutral position.

Some good core exercises for people with APT include:

  • Bird dog
  • Bridge
  • Dead bug
  • Pelvic tilt
  • Side plank

These exercises can be done at home with minimal equipment. Start by doing each exercise for 10-12 repetitions. Gradually increase the repetitions as you get stronger.
