Since I started planking my life has changed ever since. My posture has changed, my confidence has increased, running and walking ability has increased. Before I started planking I was dying to find a workout that fixed my anterior pelvic tilt but nothing was really working until I found planking. Now I didn’t really find planking because I always knew about it. But when I was a kid I was turned off from planking because of the fact that you need to be in one position for a long period of time. NOT MY THING!!! I like reps and sets and pumping iron. Planking doesn’t fit that description but when you are desperate you will do anything.
PLANKS PLANKS PLANKS. This simple exercise will transform your body tremendously. Now I know you’re thinking planking, how will that fix my glutes isn’t that for abs? Well the reason why you have an anterior pelvic tilt is because your abdominals are weak, your glutes are weak, your hip flexors are tight, and your hamstrings are tight. That’s where planking comes in. To plank you must first get in a pushup position. Once in pushup position tighten you’re abs, squeeze your glutes, and straighten your back. See planking is the exact opposite of anterior pelvic tilt that’s why it’s the best workout for it. My suggestion would be to do 10 min planks every day for 30 days straight. 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes night. I promise you in a month or two your posture will either be fully correct or near fixed. But even before that every day your body will feel better and look better.
