    Yes I absolutely love stretching! I also tried a flexibility class yesterday and omg i LOVED it. It was taught by a contortionist/yogini. He did some resistance stretching too.

    The only thing I don’t like is the fact that my nerves will not let me go for the life of me. Some day. 🙂

    Can’t wait to see your modified tut vid! Sounds like a perfect combination.

    I know resting inbetween pole workouts and weight training etc is a must. Is it ok to do flexibility training on your "off" days from pole dancing or would it be best to do those on the same days ?

    I like to use yoga blocks under my front thigh so I can hold my split longer.  I'm fine with my left, but my right is horrible.

    You and me both Desirae!  My lack of splits are keeping me out of moves!

    I most certainly have to jump on the stretch band wagon: *)

    cazacat…I tried it and had better splits in September when I used it than I did in December. I didn’t finish it. I believe it works.

    Just started this yesterday and need some hope! Has this worked for anyone who is extremely inflexible like me?!? Xxxx

    For myself it worked but I took about 6 months and I didn’t stretch everyday because it was not physically possible for me. I would wait for the soreness to go away so about 3 times a week and sometimes due to slacking 1 to 2 times a week. I did get all the way down on this routine alone doing each stretch 3x for 60 seconds each except the splits I held for 3×30 seconds I think. Now I also mix in Alethea Austin’s splits DVD too.

    Oh yeah and I’m soooo not flexible naturally as in an iron rod had more bendability than me in the beginning.

    I’m making sure I take photos all the even if I can see a slight improvement I’m hoping it will keep me motivated!! Good to hear you’ve been successful!! I was tempted to buy Althea’s DVD is it worth the money? I was also looking at felix canes too xxx

    We’ve got 3 flexibility routines here too 1 for back mobility and 2 for splits! Each is roughly 20 minutes! You’ll also find many individual stretching lessons that break down proper body placement to get the most out of each stretch. 🙂

    Same here Tara I prefer veena’s lessons I have been blessed with good flexibility but I do not believe in rushing it. I tried that one and got an adductor injury lol
