I Am Flexible

I used to do yoga when I was 12 and when I was 13 or 14 I was in a gymnastics class for a month for summer break. I regained my flexibility by stretching before and after my workouts since I was 19 but there two new stretches I want to master. I want to do master the Scorpion Pose (ballet version) and learn to do middle splits.

Scorpion Pose (ballet)

Middle Split

I'm doing well practicing the Scorpion Pose so far but middle spits are much harder for me to do, so I google stretches that dancers and gymnasts did to master it and do those every day. If I go down too far, it feels like my legs will snap off so I will be patient and take my time with this one 😅 If anyone has any other stretching tips, feel free to share with me!

My 4 year old neice does the middle split all the time. Just out of nowhere lol. When i first saw her do it, I was like 😮

@iamnikki Wow, so she's naturally flexible! I have to say I'm jealous, I've had no progress so far lol xD

@goagainsttheflow lol i guess so. I hope my sister puts her in gymnastics. We might have the next Gabby. 😄 keep practicing. I'm not flexible and have recently regained the ability to touch my toes..

Dynamic stretch before a workout, static stretch after. And never ever stretch cold.

@SINAI Thanks!
The splits loook painful ??? I used to be able to do them

@Georgimy Haha, but they're not painful when you're flexible enough. They just feel like a good stretch :)
That’s what they say
