    How often should I do the routines? Ive been doing them pretty much at least every other day after my workouts. Also, I noticed w the middle splits routine, the end pose is very hard for me to get out of! Any suggestions? I am way more flexible on the side. I am about a foot away from the ground in the middle and only a couple inches from the side. SHould I do the middle rotuine more? Thank you for these routines. I have always wanted to do the splite. Maybe now I will! For someone training and trying regularly, is there an average time frame  to success? 🙂

    If your just getting into stretching then only work on these a max of 2 times a week (if your doing them on the same day). If you do them separately then do each routine once a week, to start. 

    If you have been working on flexibility for a while, feel free to work on the routines every other day.

    If you find your sore or if your loosing flexibility then give yourself more time in between (also be sure your fully warm and not over stretching).

    The end pose your talking about is that the pull though? If so its advanced so if its not comfortable yet skip it. The most important thing is to listen to your body. More is not always best when it comes to working out or increasing flexibility. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

    There is not average time frame every body is different so as long as your seeing progress then your doing great! xoxo Keep us posted!
