How to do the Splits for the Inflexible

To join the thousands of other novices that I've assisted in getting their splits, make sure to watch this video through to the end and subscribe if you want to move from this to this or from this to this. Hello everyone, this is Anna. In this video, I'll give you a step-by-step beginner's tutorial on how to get front or center splits. Before we go into the phases of acquiring your splits, let's get started. By the end of this video, you will know how to perform the proper form in your splits, what stretches to perform, how often to stretch, and how long it will take you to achieve your splits even if you are not flexible at all. A front split should be performed correctly, which means that your hips should be squared and your torso should face directly towards the front leg. Your front knee should be pointing up and your back knee should be pointing towards the ground. Both of your legs should be in a straight line.

Finally, you should be sitting up rather than bending your chest forward. Even if you haven't gotten all the way down in your splits, it's still vital to remember these points. For the middle splits, it's a little different; your legs should still create a straight line, but your knees should point forward and your chest should face the ground. Now that you understand the correct structure for your splits, let's get to the real method of achieving the front switch. To move your leg forward, you need to have enough hamstring flexibility and enough hip flexibility. Conversely, middle splits mostly require hip flexibility, therefore I've developed two distinct follow-along stretch exercises. Depending on the kind of splits you want to achieve, i highly recommend doing one of the following stretching routines: one for the front splits, one for the middle splits, or you can do my hip stretching routine, which is linked in the description.

For beginners, an additional stretch that's great is to place your leg up on a bed or similar surface and then slowly step out the leg on the ground to get a really deep split stretch. Additionally, after performing one of those stretching exercises, you can support yourself when sliding into your split by holding onto chairs. and finally, when you approach the earth, you can begin using pillows and taking one out at a time until you are level with the ground [Music]. It's important to remember that you shouldn't stretch yourself until you are in excruciating agony; instead, aim for a small discomfort during the stretch so that it feels nice.

Hello there, Now that you know the quick stretch routine you need to do, you probably want to know how often to do it. To see results quickly, I recommend doing it at least five times a week. You can even do it every day for even quicker results, but you should also listen to your body. If you're sore one day, it's okay to take a day off from stretching. Alternatively, you could perform a gentler stretch routine, like my most recent yoga style stretch routine, which is linked down in the description The steps are as follows to achieve the splits. I know you're probably wondering how long this will really take, and while I wish I could give you a precise answer, the reality is that it varies greatly for everyone. I know there are videos on YouTube that claim you can achieve the splits in as little as one day, and while that's not impossible, it's highly unlikely, especially for beginners.

I do have a two-week splits challenge on my channel; many people have successfully completed it in that time, but the goal of the challenge was to get you closer to your splits in that time. I know that for beginners, it can take months to achieve your splits, so don't give up; just keep working at it at your own pace, and you'll eventually achieve it. Just so you know, middle splits typically take longer to achieve than front splits, so if you're interested in getting splits but aren't sure which kind to do first, I would recommend doing the front splits routine.
