I'll have pictures up as soon as I can co-ordinate myself and my boyfriend into doing something at the same time 😛 He's the one with the good camera (mine's eating it's battery now), and I just seem to dance/stretch at random times during the day. I'll have something soon, though!

I want in on this too! I've been dying to get my splits but have been lacking the motivation. I'll post a pic of my current status later… it' isn't pretty… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

I want in!!! I have never been able to do the splits! I will start an album and post progress every couple weeks

I'm in! I needed this push and this challenge is going to get me a cute picture. 🙂 Will start a progress album today with my starting point. Happy splits!

Thanks claire23 , I am FULLY warmed up and have a ways to go but practice makes progress! 🙂

I'm in. This will be something. I hate doing these cuz it hurts but since you are all in and will support me, I will do it.
Question: Do you practice everyday or few days a week?
-
Anamika- Of course we'll support you! That's the point!
I find that strength training and flexibility training is very similar, and it's best to take a couple of days rest each week. I love stretching, so it's sometimes hard for me to stop!
I will also say… ANY kind of stretching or flexibility training should NOT hurt! EVER!
If it hurts, ease off!
I've done more damage than good by stretching till it hurts- I actually decreased my flexibility that way.
You should feel some slight discomfort, a light pulling, and try to focus on relaxing. And then, as you feel the discomfort fading, you can push yourself a tiny bit further, until the discomfort returns. This is why we work on one single stretch for 60-90 seconds.

Thanks Runemist34….
I will following your suggestions. Ok, so it does matter how long you hold the stretch. It's sometimes hard to find that fine line between discomfort and pain. I'm thinking 4 days a week would be good. Let's see how far I get by xmas.

Question ladies….
I have been trying my center (middle) splits for past few days. Today, I had this weird feeling in my left foot. it's actually my toes. My toes of my left foot got pretty warm. I didn't feel that in my right foot so I got a little concerned. It also went away once I got out of my split. I'm about 10-12 inches away from the floor
Has this happened to anyone? Do you guys know the possible reasons for this?
All your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you…………
