The video discusses the issue of anterior pelvic tilt (APT), a common problem caused by sitting for long periods, which can lead to an increased arch in the back, weak glutes, and a tense lower back. The host, Nikolay Frolov, explains that the correct way to address APT is not by stretching the hamstrings, but by:
1. Reducing the dominance of the hip flexors
2. Strengthening the glutes
3. Stretching the hip flexors
4. Strengthening the abdominal muscles without using hip flexor-dominant movements
Frolov demonstrates a modified sprinter's lunge exercise that combines stretching the hip flexors with strengthening the glutes. He emphasizes the importance of addressing APT to prevent lower back problems and provides a step-by-step program for viewers to follow.
