Week 2
Thank y'all so much for reading.
Some more leg stretches for you:
1. (1/5 difficulty)
- sit in a lunge position
- make sure your calf at the front is straight, and sink into that stretch
- now, grab the back leg so it is bent (picture above)
- this stretches out your split and your thigh muscles
2. (1/5 difficulty)
- spread your legs apart a bit more than shoulder width while standing up
- go into a deep squat position
- place your hands down on your knees and sway back and forth, straightening one leg whilst keeping the other bent
- this helps your middle split
3. (3/5 difficulty)
- go into your split, even if you don't have one yet
- if you are a righty, place your left hand on your right front leg and your right hand on your back left leg
- you are now twisted and this helps to straighten out your split and your hips
4. (2/5 difficulty)
- this position is a side extension
- hold on to a bar or the wall
- grab your ankle from the inside, and try to straighten your good leg
- hopefully, by now, you should be at about a 90-100 degree angle
5. (3/5 difficulty)
- sashe twice, then with your bad leg, step off of it and into a leap
- as long as your legs are straight, it will look pretty
- it doesn't matter, for now, how big your "air split is", just focus on your posture and be sure that your legs are straight and not sloppy, as this may affect your split
