How to do it
Stand with your arms extended upwards.
Contract your abs, hamstrings, and glutes simultaneously to rotate your hips backwards, eliminating the lumbar curve.
When you return to the starting position, exaggerate the opposite movement, maximizing your lumbar curve so you can feel the difference between the two positions.
