Anterior pelvic tilt is often caused by inactive hip external rotators (glutes) and tight hip flexors.

Here is what I would recommend before weight training every day...

2 sets of 30 seconds

x-band walks from this article (flash video)

and a couple sets of glute bridges

This will help to lengthen your hip flexors and activate your glutes to prepare you for your regular training. This will serve as a warm up...
