PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Click on the thumbnails to display the demonstrations.
		This exercise illustrates the position to be adopted if you find it difficult to place your pelvis correctly. It is easier to work with the legs slightly bent.
		This exercise is practically a horizontal transposition of what must be done vertically.
		In this movement, the forces act in the opposite direction of what we have seen previously. In other words, from bottom to top. The position opposite is frequently observed in gyms. If you do not work with one leg in front of the other, but with the legs apart, it is essential to tilt the pelvis while tightening the buttocks as much as possible. You will quickly realise whether the position is good or bad. If you feel your abdominals, it's OK. If you feel your lumbars: DANGER!
On the site:	Two links to be taken on the site concerning the basic positions depending on the movement of the loads. Reminder on the importance of locking the lumbar spine when making abdominal exercises. Muscles with lordosing or delordosing action. or how the muscles are used in the pelvic tilt.
