A plank is an incredibly simple exercise that does not involve any special equipment or lengthy aerobic poses. All individuals have to do is find a flat area of the floor and position themselves on their hands and knees. They then stretch their legs straight back and bend their arms until their weight is on their forearms. Their entire body should be a long, straight line with their hips at the same height as their shoulders. Gently squeezing their abdominal and buttock muscles will help hold the plank position. The typical recommendation for someone trying to get fit is to hold planks for around thirty seconds. However, if an individual suffers from anterior pelvic tilt, extended time for planks is necessary. They should aim for at least a minute, and hold the plank a little while longer if they can. Planks are an ideal exercise for individuals dealing with anterior pelvic tilt because they simultaneously work the abdominal muscles and gluteus muscles while forcing individuals to hold their pelvis in the correct posture.

Bridge Exercise

The bridge exercise is about disengaging the hip flexors. Though its main benefit is stretching the hip region, it also provides some strengthening to the glutes and abs. Individuals start a bridge by lying flat on their back with their knees in the air, feet on the floor, and arms stretched out flat on the floor and pointing towards their feet. Then they gently squeeze their buttocks to raise their rear off the ground and create a straight line with their body between the shoulders and knees. Their weight should be resting primarily on their shoulders and feet, with their arms acting as a stabilizing force. Individuals should hold this pose for a few seconds and then slowly lower back to the ground. Individuals should start by doing this at least twelve times, and then take a break. Ideally, they should do three sets of twelve for maximum effect.
