Back Knee Position in Front Split?
I want to say I have already seen a post about this but I could not find it….
Doing the front splits, does the back knee point down or to the side? Finding the right answer is really driving me crazy. I have read that the back knee should point out; this is how ballet dancers do it and it is actually easier to do in shoes, etc…I have noticed this is how Felix Cane does hers.
However, I do Alethea Austin (actually, I think her front foot is to the side and back leg down) and the Valentino Brothers' DVDs and they are doing it with their knees down and touching the floor. So, I am not sure what to do. At that point, do I just modify their excercises to get my knee out, if that is what I want to do?
I am not completely sure how well I am explaining my question, but the bottom line is I want to know where my knee should be.
