Pelvic Rocking
This exercise strengthens your back, hip, and abdomen muscles.
- Kneeling on hands and knees, place your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.
- Inhale deeply.
- While slowly exhaling, pull in your abdomen, and tighten your buttocks and pelvic floor muscles. This should curve your spine into a "C."
- Relax, keeping your back straight (don't allow it to curve toward the floor).
- Do this exercise 8 times or to your comfort level.
