I'm in, too. I lost quite a bit of flexibility over the summer due to traveling, but I'm back on the horse. My right side is close, but my left is far off.

Oh yes definitely in! I’m gonna try for middle splits by Christmas!
-
Count me in, hamstring injury and all! =D I want my split already, and I'm willing to work at it!
-
I need some sort of motivation like this! Aiming for left leg forward splits 😀
-
I am in! I don't think I will be all the way down but it will give me a goal to get a good picture at Christmas that I am proud off. My lack of flexibility is just embarrassing! It doesn't help that my job involves standing all day so I am really tight in my hips and legs now.

I’m in too 🙂
By te way, does anyone know how far off the ground people’s parallel splits (splits with square hips) are by the time they have their full turned out splits?
I’ve decided to train/stretch my parallel splits exclusively, and do my turned out splits once every few weeks so it should be a nice surprise to see how much lower I’ve gotten. If tht makes sense.I find it discouraging to do my splits every day/week and see minimal progress. Like watching hair grow 😛

Rylonn, I completely agree…I think this is why i don’t have my splits yet, I’m too impatient!!
How about every two weeks we do update photos. This can help us encourage eachother, and also provide some accountability!

I can barely sit in a straddle! So I totally think I’m very far off that one.im aiming for side splits.
Will take photos tonight! I’m very far away…as in cant even get low enough to have my hands flat on the ground to help me balance :'( -
I'm in! I don't have any pictures, but I've been about 6 inches off the floor in middles, my parallels are either almost there (about an inch to go!) or still need some work. As soon as I get paid, though, I'm planning on getting the lessons here.
-
Michael i used to be the same, i couldnt get my hands anywhere near the floor. It really helped to use two chairs to balance and slide down that way.

My starting pic, also showing off my awesome pole kisses that I picked up this week. Ouch 🙂
