I did this today and loved it!! I think all the hip mobility exercises really help, and it’s a different approach to just splits stretches.
Yay! I’m glad you liked it. This is how I train my flexibility 💜
After the 4-8 weeks, what stage do we move up too?
Hello, I’m not sure I understand your question. Do this for 4-6 weeks to see an improvement in your flexibility.
Hi Veena
My bad for the confusion.
When we have done this for 4-6 weeks, is there another tutorial to further progress the front split? Or is this routine something you can continue to do after the 6 weeks to get your splits all the way to the ground?
I hope that made a little more sense.
Kind regards
OH! Ok. Yes, you can continue to use this. I say 4-6 weeks because most people need at LEAST that much time to see real progress. I do also have other flexibility videos to follow if you’d like to mix it up.
I have a class for front splits, it’s one week long https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/front-splits-class-welcome-free/
I also have this front splits routine https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/front-splits-routine-324/
I also suggest looking through my Warm ups, Strength and Flexibility section https://www.studioveena.com/categories/routines-strength-and-stretch/ You’ll find both strength work and flexibility for splits. Reading the descriptions can help you decide. Or if you’re not sure you can ask if what you’re thinking of using will be helpful for your goal. 🙂
