Beginners: Perform splits training 1 time per week. After 2 weeks or more, move on to 2 times per week. Training for splits daily without rest can lead to sore muscles and loss of flexibility. Give your body rest.
Perform Front and Middle splits on the same day or leave a day of rest in between to let the muscles recover.
23 minute, Middle Splits Routine. I hope you all find this routine helpful! Enjoy :)

Finreah - Is it normal to be slightly sore a few days after doing the stretch routine?i'm just a touch sore,not so bad i don't have range of motion, just more like "oh ihaven't used that in awhile"

StudioVeena - A little sore is normal when first working with new stretches.... but if your really sore then you may not have been warmed up enough OR you may have stretched a bit too far. :)

Vaudeville - The backside of my knees are really hurting everytime I do the sitting V-stretch. Is this dangerous?
on Oct 11, 2011 -
StudioVeena - Have you looked at the lesson for the v stretch? What do you mean by hurting? A pulling, tight feeling is normal if your hamstring or calf muscles are tight. Have you been stretching the calves? If you feel sharp pain that is sudden then it's always best to see a dr.

Vaudeville - Oh okay, I guess it's just tightness, because it isn't a sharp pain it just feels like I'm stretching the ligaments in the back of my knees.

1 people like thiscupcake11 - Just had to pop in and say "Thanks, Veena!" I love this routine. I've only tried the part using the foam roller (to lean over on) a couple of times...but today not only could I lift myself up/over it, but I was able to push off eneough to turn my knees forward and sweep my legs behind me! It made me feel super cool! Next to do the sweep without the foam roller...there's always some new trick to look forward to right?

LindaS - Veena! As said you re a physic! Well, may I ask you, is that 23 min streching too long for strech cause I think my body is cooling down after 10 min... :P Or should I be all sweat! :)) Should I do all the program as a begginer or may I take some parts of it and use them as I can?

StudioVeena - That is why you should stretch in a warm room and wear the warm clothing. I always wear layers when I do my flexiblity work :)

StudioVeena - Oh and yes a begging we can use this routine but you may have to modify some of the stretches

ninjachic - Is there some sort of alternative to the first few moves with foam rollers for those of us that perhaps don't have one yet? I don't want to leave them out completely as they seem helpful and important.

StudioVeena - the use of the roller in the beginning is to help loosen/relax muscles, you could massage the muscle group being rolled instead. Place the hands on the muscle and press in from both sides kind of, jiggle the muscle back and forth, to loosen it up.

StudioVeena - I would suggest going back through the individual lessons to see what stretches for the legs work for you. That is not a normal sensation to have.

CCRockstar - This is a great lesson Veena to help massage the fascia of the muscle! Thank you.

I just used this for the first time, my flexiblity needs a lot of work, but this felt awesome. The only move I could do just as you demonstrated was the Adductor Stretch Knee Up.
I realized that I have a very hard time not rounding my back when I try to lean forward in to a stretch. How can I improve that issue?

StudioVeena - Just being aware of not rounding will help! Give it time and stay with the new positioning. Watch yourself in a mirror this can help remind you too.

Cantetinza17 - I did this routine before the flexibilty class that is at my studio and it helps a lot!

Amiloo - Veena, when in the butterfly/diamond stretch is it normal for you bum to come off the floor a tad when your chest is on the floor or am I doing it wrong? Thanks!

Zqz21211831 - Veena, after I did the side splits routine, muscle sore on the other day. Can I still do the mid splits routine ? They use the diff muscles right? :)

Krissykiki - Just tried this for the first time and i got about 2 inches lower in my middle splits! This is the lowest I have ever been! Thanks for this :D

1 people like thisCantetinza17 - I did this last night and I am like 3 or 4 inches off the ground. I'm SO CLOSE!!!

2 people like thisKrissykiki - every-time I do this it makes me both love and hate you veena ;). These are such great stretches but damn sometimes stretching is hard work. I'm making progress though!

mllemilana - Thanks veena! This routine is amazing. I have had my front splits for awhile but could never get the middle one...until I found this routine! After several months of doing this series I finally got all the way down tonight. I think the slow progression of these stretches was just exactly what my body needed. Hooray, thank you!

1 people like thisteresawitch - will this help in loosening up the back of my knees especially the left one which is super tight?

StudioVeena - Yes, you might want to take a look at some of the foam roller work too for the hamstrings.
