*1. For more information on identifying pelvic anteversion, see page 75 of No-Risk Abs, by Blandine Calais-Germain (Rochester, Vt.: Healing Arts Press, 2011).
*2. This exercise also calls for the lowering and lifting of the legs once you are in the seated “Teaser” position. As we have already seen in chapter 1, the lowering and lifting of the legs can cause yo-yoing of the pelvis.
*3. For more information on how the abdominal muscles affect the viscera, see pages 18 and 21 of Blandine Calais- Germain’s No-Risk Abs.
*4. See The Female Pelvis: Anatomy & Exercises, by Blandine Calais-Germain (Seattle: Eastland Press, 2003).
*5. See the analysis of this exercise in Blandine Calais-Germain’s No-Risk Abs, pages 60–71.
*6. For a more detailed analysis of knee flexion, see Anatomy of Movement, by Blandine Calais-Germain (Seattle: Eastland Press, 2007).
*7. We saw in chapter 1 that the back muscles, for the most part, antevert the pelvis and oppose the abdominals (primarily the rectus abdominus), which retrovert the pelvis.
*8. For more information on ways to strengthen these muscles, see Blandine Calais-Germain’s Anatomy of Movement.
