Hello again.
Leg stretches:
1. (1/5 difficulty)
- go into the lunge position and be sure to have your calf 90 degrees to the floor
- put your hands on your hips and try to sink into your lunge
- lean back, with your front leg extended, and while sitting on your other leg
- flex your toe and reach for it
- repeat on the other side
2. (3/5 difficulty)
- even if you don't have a split, it is good to try a small over split, if you can
- take a stool or block
- start with your "good leg", bringing in on top of the block
- try to slide into your over spilt carefully
- once you are on the floor (which will hopefully happen in about 2 months or so), you will realize that your split is more than 180 degrees, hence the name "over split"
3. (1/5 difficulty)
- sit back on your legs and spread them apart while they are still bent
- lean forward, and you will see that your position looks like a froggie (I am sorry that I am so bad at describing, just google it if you don't understand!)
- this will help with your middle split
4. (2/5 difficulty)
- you need a wall for this stretch
- basically, just sit in a straddle, or middle split, and try to, with your legs straight, bring your body as close as you can to the wall
5. (3/5 difficulty)
- go into a downward dog position
- keeping your leg straight, kick behind you and try to get your legs to an 180 degree angle
- also, just try basic kicks, with straight legs
I hope you liked it!
