Well, I never posted a "before" picture, but here’s my "after"!
Been working toward this since June 09, using Alethea’s stretch tips. After adding resistance stretching this winter, I progressed rapidly, and got fully down today.
My bad side has been locked up for 18 years with scar tissue from a tear, but is making progress now as well.
I turn 40 in July and am thrilled to have gotten this at 39!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -
YAYAYAY!!!! Good for you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

YAY!!!
I need to take new photos to see my progress. I have not been as diligent about stretching as I would like but I am stretching at least 3 times a week.
Hey VB….where are your pics??

This is so encouraging! I’ve been working on splits this year, too. Used to be able to do side splits with ease, but everything’s locked up lately from too much sitting at the computer. Been stretching more, though, and it’s helping!

Time to update. I am not bothering with center splits progress as that really is not a goal I am trying to obtain. It looks like I have made some progress, although I will admit that it has only been a little over a month that I have been stretching at least 3x per week.
Start was end of November, the bottom pic was almost 2 weeks ago.

I think it may have to do with old roller skating injuries. That leg just does not want to go straight, even in a straddle.

Good progress!

Hi gals this is a brilliant idea I have just joined another "splits challenge" group 2010, I am 37 and already doing pole has increased my flexibility so I am further down now than I was 6 months ago but still few inches to go, if anyone can recommend any good groin or hip flexor stretches maybe we can swap some on here too, with piccies. I did a good streching this morning and I really felt my hips had had a workout, dont’ think I’ll ever get middle splits but more like front splits but can’t wait to see everyone’s progress as it gives me the incentive to keep it up. I will get a new piccy sorted. Good luck everyone. Jx

This is my first time to post here, what a great thread! Since I have been under "ottersocks" instruction I have gotten sooo close with my splits. The resistive stretching she has been teaching Really WORKS!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Off to NY on Wednesday night for USPDF Nationals. I had hoped to be able to do the splits by then, but I have not been stretching daily. practice practice practice..I know https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif C
