01 / Steps

How to do it

  1. Stand with your back to a wall or wall bars.

  2. Place your hands on the floor and get into a push-up position with your feet near the wall.

  3. Walk up the wall by stepping your feet upward and bringing your hands closer until you are in a handstand facing the wall.

  4. Contract your abs, hamstrings, and glutes at the same time to rotate your hips backward, eliminating the lumbar curvature (posterior pelvic tilt) for at least a couple of seconds.

  5. Return your hips to their natural position to complete one repetition.

  6. To better understand the technique, when you go back to the initial position exaggerate the opposite movement, maximizing your lumbar curvature (anterior pelvic tilt). This way, you will clearly feel the difference between the two positions.
