The official splits progress thread

Great work!
I need to get some more pictures up. I think I have made some progress but I am not sure unless I can compare.

K…took new pics on Monday. I was not as warm as I would have liked to have been but in looking at progress I am pretty psyched!!
November:

Almost there with my middle splits. The side splits are still a long way off. I’m one of those weird ones! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

very interesting thread, and great results ladies!
My front to back splits (like what chem was doing) are pretty good. If warmed up usually I can get all the way to the floor unless my right hip is acting up. Cold I can get within a few inches of the floor. My middle splits….who am I kidding WHAT middle splits, the don’t exhist. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif the backs of my legs are so tight (I’m assuming from years of riding and wearing heels.
I need to make this a new goal of mine. and work on it with the girls since they are doing cheerleading classes now.

Talk to the trainer you have been working with. After each and every session working out STRETCH. -
Brilliant thread! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif All your splits progress photos are an inspiration https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I just started taking 2 classes a week at the pole studio I go to. And they only focus on doing stretches for splits. Already seeing progress after 3 weeks https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Now I just need to take a photo of how much I can do now, start stretching everyday at home and be able to do splits! Hopefully before the pole dancing competition im competing in in september https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_blackeye.gif -
i can do one side more than the other, lol! i can go all the way down with my right leg out in front & only like 3/4 of the way dow with my left leg out front. my center split ( or whatever that one with both legs out) is really sad! lol! i get like 1/2 way down & tip over because i feel like my legs will pop off if i go any lower https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
& speaking of flexibility, i think i "over did" a back bend earlier https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif i was watching my video clips earlier & i was like "wow, my back is pretty bendy these days" && now i’m laying in bed with a sore back thinking i was wrong.. oops https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif -

I am so far off being able to do the splits.
Like i have a mile to go LOL
I think, next time i practice ill take some photos to motivate me.
I am NO where near what you lot are doing though! -
All right I’m in…ugh. I’m way off in reaching the ground but accountability is a good thing and it will spur me to stretch more! I’ll post some before shots.lol. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_porc.gif

Great job girls! I’m getting SOOO close, but I have to be really warm. For those of you who already have them down, how long did it take you for that last little bit? and how much longer did it take to get to the point where you could just slide right down? right now mine are so unreliable, only close if I’ve danced and stretched. i get wait to have them so i can incorporate them into a dance!
