The Secret to Getting Your Splits

Hello everyone and happy Sunday!

Last week I talked about how your muscles don’t stay quite as strong when you don’t use them regularly. Well the same goes for stretching! As we get nearer to coming back to the gym, it important your flexibility is there as well! And what’s the one stretch that we’re always working towards? Splits!

Now just doing splits is not going to help you get them. There is a lot going on in a split, and a lot of different body parts are involved, like your hamstrings and hip flexors. I found a great 10 minute follow along routine, so you don’t even have to think about what to do—just follow what the girls is doing and BREATHE! Breathing is so important and will help you get your muscles to relax, so when it starts to feel really uncomfortable, just take your deep breaths and know you’ll get through it; it’s only 10 minutes, after all!

The last thing I want to mention is that a lot of Youtube videos will tell you you can get your splits in one day, and that is absolutely not true!!! So what’s the secret? Consistency! Do these stretches EVERY DAY and I promise you will see some changes. Alrighty, without further ado, here is the routine: 10 Minute Stretching Routine to Get Your Splits!
