The Pelvic Tilt

What's your long-term health and fitness goal?

One of mine is to be able to ride my horse when I’m a little old lady! The exercise ball is an invaluable tool in conditioning for riding. It's also a lot of fun. Kind of like playing when we were kids. (If you've forgotten that, then using the balance ball on a regular basis will help you remember. Guaranteed!)

Just sitting on the balance ball is active and also great for your posture! Sit quietly on the ball for a few moments to get your bearings.

The pelvic tilt teaches mobility through the spine, which is essential for riding our horses. Try to find your sitz bones (ischial tuberosities), those boney projections you feel in your buttocks when in the saddle.
