Consult your doctor or physical therapist before beginning any new exercise regimen—particularly if you already have a back problem. Do not continue any exercise that causes pain or discomfort.
4. Pelvic Tilt
This exercise can be done while sitting (in a chair), standing (against a wall), or most commonly lying down (on the floor). Lying on your back, bend your knees and keep your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands on your pelvis and relax. Tighten the stomach and buttocks muscles and gently press your lower back onto the floor. Hold the position for 5 counts and release. Repeat 4-5 times. Pelvic Tilts are done to strengthen the muscles of the stomach and buttocks and to stretch the muscles of the back.
