I’m doing splits because I’m 63 years old and some people think I should have a hard time even walking 🙄 I love proving them wrong. I love setting an example of how to age on your own terms. Love you guys! 🙋🏻‍♀

how are they going?

I am a 40 year old breaker. I have done many different martial arts, but I never consistently tried to do splits. So, I have been working at it lately and seeing improvement. Thanks for the video.

Why am I striving for front splits? (Forest Gump voice) “I just felt like stretching”

And that’s all I have to say about that

Terrific stretching here! This can make such a big difference for a workout or physical training 💪💯

I’m learning front splits because I want full control over my body and I wanna know what it feels like to be able to sit comfortably in these ranges :)

Awesome video as always. Thank you.

Thank you💖

This is what I've been waiting for!

Loved the video. As far as my 'why' is concerned, just look how friggin' cool a front split is!

You guys are freaking awesome. Ciaoooooo from italy! :)

for the “why,” i’m a short climber and more flexibility in my legs could definitely help me get up tougher climbs

INTENSE shake in my front leg hamstring stretch. Feels awesome

Thanks very much. Always inspirational and simple . We want our channel to look like yours one day. Best!

Amazing

And remember to "BREATHE" every time you're stretching to allow for more oxygen intake. That's the key to flexibility is to properly breathe in and out of your stretches.

@@c-a-t-entertinment7075 Pain shouldn't be associated with stretching, it can involve muscle tears and lead to injury. You should always breathe while in a stretched position for oxygen intake. Exhale when entering to a stretch position, and then breathe in and out. Afterwards exhale when coming out of the stretched position. Never hold you're breath while stretching. Take it from a former ballet dancer.

I think this tip is about to help me get my front split finally so thank you so much!

Very good video! When I go into the deep lunge, my right leg feels super tight from the hip flexor down through the quads (only on the right side). It's borderline pain. Is it just a matter of continuing with the exercise and build up more strength?

Omg the first stretch is pain!!!!! I love it

Awesome video!! Have a whale of a time. Absolutely adorable and well said!! ♡♡♡

I’m here to get better kicks in taekwondo. This was helpful.

Great video. Side splits please.

I do martial arts the style I sparring I use needs good splits which I have had difficulty with for a very long time never giving up though till I accomplish a good split.

I know that I do that too and it helps me too

Doing this for wrestling

How long do I hold the long lunge? And for how many sets

Should I go as deep as I can in the stretch and "fight" to straighten the leg? OR Should I only go as deep as I can while being able to straighten the leg and "fight" for depth? I've been doing the former, but now I'm wondering if that is correct..

I signed up for a karate tournament and now I need mad flexibility to pull off some kicks.

How long do you have to do this?

"The front splits - The second most vulnerable position known to man".......................... a thought provoking opening line if there was ever one.

Oh you know it is going to be that way because I can do it

I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis for 8-9 months now. Stretching my calves helped immensely (along with ice and massage). Once it got better starting doing calf raises in the last 2 months to strengthen the foot muscles which further reduced the pain. As we speak, I'm almost 80-90% healed.

Great video! One quick question for anyone; will becoming this flexible make you less explosive. Cause I got taught explosiveness comes from muscle tension?

@rotanux

Also let's take into consideration sprinting: if your hammies are tight then when you pull your leg forward and up you'll also fight your own muscle tightness, thus making you slower. There are no downside to muscle flexibility

I'm learning front splits to be able to perform a traditional Sombati ghawazee shamadan dance. 🙂

I’m training for front spit because I’m going for my black belt in Taekwondo and I need more flexibility and strength for my kicks ❤

i want to do a cartwheel, yesterday was my Day 1, practising for two hrs but still couldn't drive my back leg over my hip and torso-thigh-calf were forming like a letter Z

I am daiming towards this because I am 60 yo and heart valve replacement surgery 9 years ago. I never unseizeded from being cracked open like a lobster. I have decided this sort of flexibility or else I'll be an old man in a few years. #notreadyforchairyoga.
