Other Workouts While Doing the APT Fix?
Updated over a year ago

Here are some common exercises/workouts and how they relate to the Anterior Pelvic Tilt Fix Program.

Should I do yoga to fix my APT faster?

Most likely not. Many yoga classes teach a flow that will make your APT worse. They ask you to forward fold and then rise up using lower back extension. This is precisely the pattern you want to avoid. The hip stretches and poses may be helpful, however

Should I do pilates to fix my APT faster?

Most likely not. While Pilates does emphasize having a strong core, some of the more repetitive elements encourage your quads and hip flexors to become dysfunctional. They become strong in one very limited position that encourages anterior pelvic tilt. Depending on your instructor's personal style and approach, you may also be pushing yourself with bad form, and that will not help your APT.

Should I stop weightlifting while trying to fix my APT?

It would be a good idea for at least a month to three months. If you don't want to take that time off, you should make sure you're lifting with excellent form. Reduce the weights you're using and make adjustments to your form so that you are not exacerbating your APT. Be sure to watch the bonus video that covers this topic as well.

Should I do high-intensity interval training while doing this program?

If you can't achieve a neutral pelvic position and maintain it, then HIIT is not a good idea. If you can maintain neutral pelvic tilt, then we would suggest reducing the intensity level. Going "hard and fast" with bad form is a recipe for worse movement mechanics. You can still do the HIIT workouts, but you should only do as much and for as long as you can maintain solid form without APT.

Should I train for long-distance running while doing the APT Fix program?

If you can't achieve a more neutral pelvic position while running, then you need to master that before you run short or long distances. Once you can achieve neutral pelvic tilt and can maintain it while running, we would suggest reducing the intensity level and length of runs. Long-distance running with bad form is a recipe for worse movement mechanics. You can still run, but you should only do as much and for as long as you can maintain solid form without falling into APT due to fatigue/form breakdown.
