Exercise of the Week: Pelvic Curl
Written on December 2, 2024 - 12:09 pm | by admin
This exercise is a nice stretch for the front of the hips and is a yummy warm up for the spine. It also engages the hamstrings, and if you do it right - with parallel legs - you will get your inner thighs working as well.
*When you practice this exercise, don’t make it all about the front-body, make it about getting support from underneath - from lengthening your back by sending your tailbone toward your knees, and from your hamstrings.
Everybody can try this one. The first part is basically a pelvic tilt which is often recommended to people with back pain. If you have back and neck pain, only go that far and don’t press through to the bridge.
