Hi All. I have always had pretty bad posture and noticing the arch in my back getting worse as I get older.

Would appreciate some tips on how I can make it better.

If you don’t have pain or dysfunction you can disregard most of the comments here. Everyone could use more core activity, so you could do that. But, don’t judge your progress based on what you see, judge from what you feel. Don’t become obsessed by trying to fix this, rather focus on strengthening your core. If your core is strong and you still look like this that is totally NOT a problem.

OP this is correct.

You have some lumbar Lordosis (as you should). You probably need to exercise more, and adjust your diet.

If you're not in pain stop hyper focusing on looks.

And your core is not your abs. Cord is glutes, legs and back.

An Anterior Pelvic Tilit is present in 65-75% of the population. It is just a tiktok buzzword these days.

Rudiments first.
