i want to be able to do the right splits, what are some good stretches to kelp with this?What are some good stretches to do for your splits?
Make sure to warm up properly before doing ANY of these!!!!
A resistance stretch is great for front splits. First, lay down. Keep one leg straight. Bring the other up and grab with both hands. Try to get the leg you are grabbing as close to your face as possible WITHOUT bending your leg on the ground (keep it fully on the ground) and keep your back and butt firmly on the ground.
If you want, do the resistance stretch, only have a friend push down your leg rather than you grab it.
Sit in a jazz split position (a split but with the back leg bent and turned out). Lean towards the inside of the split, trying to get your head to touch the ground. Then, lean forward. Try to get your nose to touch your knee.
Do a lunge stretch. Just stand straight up, then slide one foot out in front of you with the knee at a 90 degree angle.
Go into the splits, only bend your front leg at a 90 degree angle, turned out. Your front leg should be completely on the ground. Now, lay down over your front leg, trying to get your face to touch the ground.
Lastly, do an arabesque penchee. Now, pulse your leg up 8 times, trying to get it as high as you can.
Then, slide into the splits. When in the splits, try to get your face to touch your leg, then go inside the splits and try to get your face to touch the ground.
Hold all of these for 30 seconds. Try to do these everyday or as often as possible. Don't push anything too hard ever! Time spent healing an injury is time spent losing flexibility. Use it or lose it!
Best of luck!!What are some good stretches to do for your splits?
When i wanted to get my splits, I just sat in front of the tv and went as far down into my splits as I could go and sat there, this will hurt a bit if your doing it right. after a while it won't hurt much, and you can go down more until it hurts again. this is what you should do every night so your muscles dont tighten back up! even after you get your splits, sit there for a while in your splits every night, eventually you will be able to do the splits and feel no pain at all!
To be able to do the right splits, make sure you warm up your hamstrings, and hip-flexers. Also, it is important to warm up your so-as muscle, (the muscle that runs across your hip bone).
HAMSTRING STRETCH- sit on your left leg, then stretch out your right leg in front of you. Lean forward, and you should feel a good stretch running across your hamstring. Repeat on other leg.
SO-AS STRETCH- put your body in a deep lunge, with your left leg bent in front of you, and your right leg stretched behind. If you like, you can place your knee on the ground. Lean your body forward, and you should feel a nice stretch in front of your right hip. Repeat on other leg.
