You can see a tiny sliver of light on my right vertical split…and I look pretty uncomfortable there, which is weird because I’ve always been way closer to my right vertical split than any other. I hadn’t done any flexibility training in a couple of weeks and then last night after my strength training session and some stretching I just knew tonight was the night. I dropped down into my normal end range for middle split and then was like, hmmm, I think I can just sit down. And I did! I rolled back and forth to make sure I was actually in a middle split and I was! So then I thought, I’m gonna get my vertical split tonight too. So I tried my bad side first…and I got that too! It seriously just happened one day after lots of trying and feeling like it never would. So excited and motivated!!!

Thread Necromancy!
It’s been like 15 days since I saw anything in this one, so I thought I’d post and check in!
I don’t have any pictures for now (who knew they’d be so hard for me to get all the time!!) but I am still stretching and working at it!
So, my front right and left splits are coming along- sometimes I feel like they aren’t doing anything, and then mornings like this one, I wonder if I’ve gone too far! But I’m really excited, I’m more flexible in the hips than I’ve ever been!
The middle splits, well, they still suck a bit to stretch (I’ve been doing it with knees bent, to stay stable). Apparently tight hips “runs in the family,” and I’m so determined that it will not drag me down! But, it’s a stretch that I’ve always avoided, so I shouldn’t be too surprised about it being unpleasant for a bit!I hope everyone else is seeing progress and keeping up with it! I’m always so excited to see everyone’s progress, even if I don’t reply 🙂

I have still been stretching but not as much flex training. I am starting over with the 30 day challenge so hopefully progress picks up soon. 🙂

Becca, it’s good that you’re still stretching! Flexy training can be tiring, so I understand 😉
Phoenix, that’s awesome! I’m totally freaked out about doing oversplits training- I’m shocked that my hips are THIS far, but oversplits?
I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get there 😛
Those middle splits are sooo flat, I’m envious! -
