    I can’t seem to get any deeper into puppy pose than this, my goal originally was for head and butt to touch. Is that level of flexibility achievable at 25 years old? And are there any stretches or modifications I can make to help achieve that goal ? Thanks in advance !

    Flexibility journey

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 09:24 PM PDT

    Before everything closed due to coronavirus, I was the least flexible person in my dance class. Just yesterday (after 47 days of stretching) I did a left split!!! I also am an inch away from my right split and straddle. I'm super excited and can't wait to keep getting better and more flexible each day!

    Knee pain during front split

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 12:27 PM PDT

    Wondering if anyone has advice for dealing with pain in my back kneecap when stretching for front splits. I have pretty bony kneecaps, but this only seems to happen with my left knee. The knee is totally fine when I am doing a lunge/have my front knee bent, but straightening the front leg just seems to put too much pressure on it. Should I be doing something differently? Do they make little donut cushions I can put under my knee?

    Also if anyone has advice for more stretches to do to help me get my splits, I would love to hear it. I have very flexible hamstrings, and I feel like my pike is pretty good. But it doesn't seem to translate into split flexibility.

    Is jump rope a good warm up?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 08:20 AM PDT

    Do you guys think only 5 mins of jump rope is enough of a warm up before my stretching routine?

    About one front-split/pike related exercise

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 04:42 AM PDT

    Hi, I have found one exercise, that feels relatively effective. I would like to know what you think about it. If you bother to try, it would be even better.

    It's similar to standing hamstring stretch. Stand with left foot on ground and right one on some elevated platform (chair or table for example). Example pic. Lifting right leg higher or moving left leg back make position harder. Adjust difficulty so that you can straighten both legs and lock knees, but it requires contracting muscles. Therefore relaxing will bend left leg. Straighten both legs for reps or holds (I do few reps and ~20 sec hold, repeat few times each side).

    In front split and long lunge it's hard to straighten back leg. General consensus, it seems, is just practice as shown in video. The described exercise have few benefits in comparison. It's easier to balance (because in very long lunge only ball of back foot and heel of front touches the floor). Second, it allow you to fully straighten leg and lock knee. If neural adaptation is a thing, brain benefit from it.

    For reference, I have ~25cm to floor left in split and head to shins pike. I use table of approx my hips height. My pike noticeably improved after only few sets, that's what made me make a post. I don't know if/how it will work on different level tho.
