Can I do other workouts or exercises while doing the APT Fix?
Many people ask whether they can continue doing their usual workouts while going through the Anterior Pelvic Tilt Fix (APT Fix) program.
The short answer?
It depends on the activity and how you're doing it. Here's a breakdown:
🧘 Should I do yoga to fix my APT faster?
Most likely not.
Many yoga classes include flows that reinforce the exact movement pattern that leads to APT—like repeated forward folds followed by rising up into excessive lower back extension.
Some of the hip stretches and poses can be helpful, but overall, be cautious. Most yoga routines aren’t designed with APT in mind and can worsen your posture if you’re not careful.
🧍♀️ Should I do Pilates to fix my APT faster?
Also not recommended.
While Pilates focuses on core strength, some repetitive Pilates moves can overwork the quads and hip flexors, reinforcing the very imbalance that causes APT.
On top of that, instructor style and cueing vary a lot, so unless you’re with someone who deeply understands APT mechanics, you may be doing more harm than good.
🏋️♂️ Should I stop weightlifting while doing the APT Fix?
It’s a good idea to take a break for at least 1–3 months.
If you don’t want to take time off completely, then be extremely mindful of your form. Reduce your weights and focus on:
- Not overextending your low back
- Maintaining a neutral pelvic position
- Avoiding compensation patterns that feed into APT

🔥 Should I do high-intensity interval training (HIIT)?
Only if you can maintain good form.
If you can’t keep a neutral pelvis during HIIT, then you're reinforcing bad movement mechanics.
You can still do some HIIT, but:
- Lower the intensity
- Prioritize form over speed or power
- Stop if you notice your posture breaking down due to fatigue
🏃♀️ Should I train for long-distance running?
Not until you’ve mastered a neutral pelvic position while running.
If you're running with anterior pelvic tilt, you're just making your movement habits worse.
Once you can maintain better pelvic positioning while running, then:
- Reduce the intensity and length of your runs
- Stay alert for form breakdown due to fatigue
- Build back up gradually, keeping form as your top priority
Bottom Line:
The APT Fix is about retraining your body.
That means reducing the inputs that reinforce APT and increasing the ones that build awareness, control, and strength in a healthier posture.
Whatever other training you do should support your progress, not sabotage it. 💪
