Help please!?!?

Question

What are some good leg stretches so I can get my body flexed to do the splits and other leg stunts?

please and thanks :)

Answer 1

Depending on which splits you want (side or straddle), different stretches will target different areas.

Some general stretches would be sitting with your legs in front of you and reaching for your toes. Try to keep your back straight to get the most out of this stretch. Now spread your legs apart (in a straddle) and reach forward, again trying to keep your back as straight as possible.

For side splits: lunge forward, keeping your body straight, then lean forward and put your elbows on the floor (next to the inside of your foot). Next, still in a lunge but with your hands on either side of your foot, put your back knee on the floor and lift your foot up, grabbing it and pulling it as close to you as possible. Drop this foot and sit back on it, stretching your front leg and reaching for that foot. Lastly, go as far into your splits as possible and hold it.

Hold all of these stretches for at least 30 sec and repeat daily to get fastest results.

Hope this helps :)
