Anterior Pelvic Tilt: The Posture Problem You Might Not Know You Have
If your lower back feels tight, your stomach seems to stick out, or your glutes never seem to “turn on during training, anterior pelvic tilt could be part of the picture.
Anterior pelvic tilt occurs when the front of the pelvis rotates downward and the back rotates upward, creating an exaggerated arch in the lower back.
Why does it matter?
• It can place extra stress on the lower back
• It may reduce glute engagement during exercises like squats, deadlifts, and lunges
• It can contribute to hip tightness and movement restrictions
• It may make it harder to maintain proper lifting mechanics
The good news? For many people, it can be improved with consistent practice.
Try:
V Strengthening your glutes and core v Stretching tight hip flexors
V Learning to brace your core properly v Practising neutral spine positioning during lifts v Paying attention to posture throughout the day
Remember: posture exists on a spectrum. Anterior pelvic tilt isn’t necessarily an injury or something that needs to be “fixed” in everyone. The goal is better movement, less discomfort, and improved performance.
Have you ever been told you have anterior pelvic tilt?

When you feel like ramen but are also trying to hit your macros…
I found this high protein collagen bone broth when out shopping on the weekend and already had the noodles. Add shredded chicken leftovers, soy marinated egg and some veggies- taadaa! And the bonus was eating in my pj’s 😋

You probably don't need another complicated diet.
You probably need to get really good at the basics.
Eat enough protein.
Eat more plants and fibre.
Include a variety of minimally processed foods.
Drink enough water.
Eat meals that actually satisfy you.
And stop treating one meal, one snack, or one less-than-perfect day like it has somehow ruined everything.
Nutrition for healthy ageing isn't about eating perfectly.
It's about consistently giving your body the raw materials it needs to support muscle, bone, metabolic health, energy and everything else you're asking it to do.
The boring basics are boring for a reason.
They work.
And you don't need to overhaul your entire diet tomorrow.
Start by making your next meal a little more supportive than the last one.

Strength isn't just about getting stronger in the gym.
It's about being able to carry the groceries without thinking twice. Get up off the floor. Haul your suitcase. Play with your kids or grandkids. Climb the stairs. Pick something up that you weren't expecting to be heavy.
And as we get older, strength becomes less about what we can lift for a single workout and more about what our bodies allow us to keep doing.
That's why I don't train women simply to "burn calories" or change the way their bodies look.
I train for real life.
Because your strongest years aren't behind you.
They can still be ahead of you.
That's what Built for Real Life Strength is all about.
