Warming up your pelvis

In this video, you will learn a very simple exercise for pelvic warm-ups, specifically targeting the lumbar and abdominal muscles. This exercise improves mobility in the pelvis, and prevents the stiffening that comes from hip movement while power walking.

This exercise is done in two stages: positioning and movement.

Firstly, positioning.

Stand up with your feet parallel a shoulder-width apart.

Bend your knees slightly to stabilize yourself. You should be standing firmly and well supported.

Place your hands just above your pelvis, on either side of the abdominal muscles. This will ensure that your torso does not move during the exercise.

Secondly, the movement.

Form small circles with your pelvis, 10 in one direction, then 10 in the other.

It's important you rotate your pelvis without moving your torso.

It may help to practice this movement at home, in front of a mirror, to master it completely.

Once you've finished the exercise, stand back upright and relax your body!

Repeat the exercise 2 or 3 times, taking your time, and without straining yourself. Have a good warm-up!
