Brianna Steinhilber Calls 10-Rep Pelvic Tilt Key to Stronger Deep Core
1 articles · Updated · TODAY · Jun 30
Summary
Steinhilber says the pelvic tilt is the most important move to master before any ab exercise—or arguably any exercise—because it trains the deep core, not just visible abs.
The move targets the transversus abdominis, the deepest abdominal layer that acts like a corset around the midsection and supports posture, stability, mobility and functional strength.
Steinhilber says engaging that muscle can help trim waist inches, reduce lower back pain, protect the back and lower injury risk during Pilates, strength training and other workouts.
To start, lie on your back with knees bent, exhale, pull the belly button toward the spine, tuck the tailbone and tilt the pelvis toward the ribs, repeating the motion 10 times.
