Posterior Pelvic Tilt and Bioenergetics
-
The two have a bidirectional relationship although in my experience fixing the gut and metabolism will have a larger impact and allow your nervous system to regulate which will in turn allow proper breathing, diaphragm mechanics, relaxation and therefore posture. Posture shouldn't be something you have to think about nor should energy metabolism.

@OliverCloasov How were you able to fix your anterior tilt?
-
@tubert I followed the advices of both Esther Gokhale and Jeff from AthleanX. Both are brilliant, they have free material out there, but I highly recommend Gokhale's book for all things posture related.
I also made a daily routine of- glute/hamstring bridges (sets and holds)
- the bridges above, but flaring the knees back & forth while holding the position
- the dead bug exercise
- regular crunches and oblique ones
I do a set of these exercises or two every day, usually after waking up, and work them until I feel the burn.
I also found that changing my dietary habits to limit digestive inflammation helped a lot, as did mitigation of excessive electric fields in my workspace, which I could feel in the abdomen and would compel me to hunch.
Neck posture and proper foot arch were also important, so I constantly remind myself to make these adjustments constantly throughout the day.
Also bodyweight squats every few hours since I work a desk jobAll of these together led to very fast improvement, even at my age. The improvements are gradual, but noticeable as long as the exercises are done correctly.

Anterior pelvic tilt can be caused by tight hip flexors. Gain flexibility in your hip flexors and strengthen your abs and posterior chain.

@OliverCloasov thanks!

@oliveoil good point!

@oliveoil I second this regarding the tight flexors! Jeff mentions it as a key point here:

Update:
Have lost some weight by focusing on liver function (sunlight, thyroid, carrot salad, boiled white button mushrooms, lapodin) and have focused on that aspect of posture as well. Temps are maintained and bad water retention is reduced.
Still got a ways to go! Feel good and comfortable with moderate exercise too!
