Splits Help

Hi everyone! I'm really sorry I haven't posted in a while. Recently, we had a splits test for ballet, and I had to get both right and left front splits, also known as the girl splits. Here are some tips I got both online and offline to get your splits.

1. Do lunges on each leg. So, right foot in front, and then left in front.

2. Put some socks on, find a wooden (or slippery floor) and go down as far as you can in your splits and hold for 2 minutes each day. Switch legs.

3. If you need a couple more inches or centimeters left in your splits, try the oversplits. Stack 3 or more pillows on top of each other or use something about 18 cm high. Next, put your front leg on the object that is 18 cm high. Do your splits. It's okay if your back leg can't go all the way down. After your over splits, try doing your splits. You'll see you have gotten farther. They're both examples of oversplits, but I suggest doing the top one.

4. Go against a wall with your feet touching the wall. Have someone lift your leg up until you can really feel the pain. Have them hold it there for 30 seconds.


This should help! The over splits work really well for getting the last few inches for your splits. Legs feeling sore? Take a hot shower or stretch in the sun.
