peer agreement (net): +1tilt the pelvis forward Explanation: Meter los riñones es una expresión bastante coloquial. Se podría decir "bascular" o sea mover los glúteos hacia delante pero www.rae.es no contempla esta opción. En la página que he adjuntado, en el párrafo "Develop Posture Awareness" puedes ver estas palabras en contexto. En Google, muchas expresiones son pasivas: "the pelvis tilted forward".

Another possibility is "arch your lower back", but that's perhaps going too far and is not necessarily a good idea when lifting; you don't want to increase the natural bend of he spine but simply tighten the muscles to keep the lumbar region firm, so "tuck in" creates the right impression. As the following example illustrates, this kind of expression is commonly used in Pilates, which pays great attention to correct posture, especially of the lumbar region. "Tuck your lower back in so that you don't put undo pressure on your lower back. Pull your shoulders down, connect your navel to your spine" http://www.anywherepilates.com/finding-balance/pilates-and-p... |
