So, in looking into the tuck issue, I found this thread, especially Lannette's posts, helpful. http://www.videofitness.com/~vfwnk/f...d.php?t=123933
When I tried what she suggested the tuck is, it feels fine to me and not like clenching and going very far forward. At least in that thread, she makes it seem like the point of the tuck is to counteract anterior tilt and neutralize it rather than do a posterior tilt. But if you look at Teresa in the DVDs, at least TWO and other clips I've seen, she does really move her pelvis far forward. ?? Could it be that those who have their low backs tweaked from this are those who already have decent posture and a nice lumbar curve and are not normally hunching over and sticking their bum out? I did yoga for so many years that I naturally keep a check on my posture and balance my feet. So I wonder if, for me, trying to copy the normal t-tapp tuck just flattens me out too much. Or maybe there is something else with my spine that is different from the typical person that does this. I hope it's okay to keep posting about this, OP. It seemed like its been a topic others here are interested in, but I didn't mean to take over your thread. I hope you are getting what you need. One thing I can say is that this workout does pull everything in. |

Well, I certainly wouldn't describe myself as having good posture. (I'm definitely one of the hunchers!) But I've done bellydance, which starts in a tucked form, and have noticed that my normal stance does seem more neutral; I don't stand with a pronounced curve to my lower back, bum thrust out. Maybe you're onto something!
