Flex Thursday - what is it that hurts you the most?
I’ve been training and stretching but there is no way I can get to improve my splits with my left leg. I am dreaming of oversplits and doing those amazing pictures other fellow dancers do, but they are kind of “expectation vs reality”. Has this happened to you? Do you have any move you would like to do (or feel appropriate for the beach?)
Here is my attempt for splits:
Notice my horrible left leg:
I keep sending my love to it, so that it improves 😭

Yes, I know how hard it is. I can do the splits on the floor, can even lift my hands up in air at same time, but when i'm upside down they just don't look like full splits!! You have to regularly practice and be consistant. I know loads of exercises to improve splits, on the ground and in the air. Partner stretching is always good as extra weight helps you, also bar workgives you something to push against. My favourite at the moment though is resting one foot, at the ankle in an aerial sling or hammock and pushing forwards (whilst holding the sling) until youre in a forward fold position.
Yea, I do practice with partners it does help a lot! I also use the bar, but I’ll try out your suggestion! Will see improvements in future pictures. Thanks!!!
Keep up the work, it will be worth it when you reach your goal! 🌻✌ Ps. Sending some love to your left leg as well.
Totally!! Ahahah thanks, my leg is happier with more support 🙈 😃
