| How do you put your feet and knees up in middle splits without killing your heels? Posted: 02 Apr 2020 12:14 AM PDT On almost every post on here about middle splits I see people commenting saying that you should try and get your toes and knees to the sky and balance on your heels so that you can get lower and avoid strain on the knees. Every time I try and stretch in this position, though, either the pressure is extremely painful on my heels, or the surface I'm stretching on is too squishy for me to be able to slide my heels out any further to increase the stretch. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you overcome it? Is this the kind of pain that will just go away after a few weeks of subjecting myself to it? [link] [comments] | ||
| My feet/ankles hurt like HELL when I sit back on my heels (seiza). Why? Posted: 02 Apr 2020 03:53 AM PDT a lot of other posts about this position mention knee pain, but my problem isn't that i can't sit back far enough for my butt to touch my feet; i can do that. my problem is that i can't keep that position for more than 10 seconds because of the pain on my ankles and the back of my feet, which gets SO much worse when i lean backwards. like, it feels like my ankles are going to break because of all the bodyweight that's crushing them. has anyone else had this problem? is this a flexibility issue, or a strength issue? are my ankles just weak, and do i just need to repeatedly do this pose until i can stand it? something plantar flexion something? *also, it's not the achilles tendon that hurts, it's the opposite side, the tops of my feet, that hurt :( [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 01 Apr 2020 02:35 PM PDT I've been stretching my splits for a while now. I'm almost down but not all the way. I can't get all the way down! How can I get lower? I've been stuck in the same place for so long, what can I do? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 01 Apr 2020 05:39 PM PDT Anyone have any good videos and/or websites with a routine for doing one of those pancake stretches? Going to see how much progress I can make now that I have no excuses! [link] [comments] | ||
| Any recommendations for 30 day challenge videos for splits stretching? Posted: 01 Apr 2020 10:57 AM PDT I'm really enjoying some of the '30 days of yoga' challenges from Yoga with Adriene at the moment, and I was wondering if anyone knows of any other good ones that specifically focus on splits perhaps? They don't even need to be from the same person, just some kind of playlist maybe. I find it difficult to stay motivated just doing stretches from a list - I'd like someone to follow along, and some variation each day. [link] [comments] | ||
| What can I do on my own to address my strained lower back during the pandemic? Posted: 01 Apr 2020 08:46 AM PDT To make a long story short, in the past, and before 2014, I engaged in a lot of heavyweight training without proper form, nutrition, recovery, mobility work, and so on, I also spent countless hours sitting in front of a desk and computer, all of which led to chronic imbalances throughout my body, and various lower back strains and other injuries. Through a combination of hatha yoga, pilates, physiotherapy and more, I have successfully treated my lower back strains to varying degrees since 2014, but since December 2019, I have experienced chronic lower back strains, which are quite intense and distracting in the mornings, and which improve by the afternoons. Basically, when I wake up in the morning, forward flexion leads to pain, and although I can get out of bed more or less like a zombie would in any stereotypical zombie movie, I can only do so slowly, and sometimes I must do so at an odd angle to avoid sharp pain in my lower back. I weigh 181 pounds, and since December 2019, I have been able to do heavy deadlifts, heavy squats with 225 to 295 pounds (6 x 4) before the sharp pain in my lower back becomes slightly intolerable, and I can also run for up to 8 km, and I can do as many as 100 bodyweight squats in a row without any major complications. I had to cut my last weight training session early though, and hatha yoga postures like wheel pose and boat pose are impossible on some days, and my lower back feels "off" when I simply walk from point A to point B now. I also feel off when I run. Since seeing a physiotherapist in Toronto is no longer possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which exercises can I do at home to address my strained lower back, and what should I avoid doing?

| Splits, hamstrings, and hip flexors Posted: 01 Apr 2020 07:21 AM PDT With all this social distancing going on, my new goal is to learn the splits at home. I've been stretching my hip flexors and hamstrings and have been making some progress but I'm starting to notice something odd and I'm wondering if you fine folks can help shed some light. If I go straight into the split without warming up/stretching, I find my hamstrings and inner thighs down to my knees to be SUPER tight and taught and I can't get very far. However, if I stretch only my hip flexors and then get into the split, I find I have much more range of motion into the split before my hamstrings and inner thighs start to hurt. I sit a lot and have slight APT, but I'm worried about pushing father into the split and even stretching my hamstrings since they seem to be elongated and taught even in a resting state. Is this a real concern? Or should I continue stretching both my hip flexors and hamstrings/inner thighs? Also, one other random question: should I be engaging my glutes when getting into the split?
