2015 Splits Challenge
-
DLGBoricuaIVE: I’m hoping it were just for the photos but please be very careful about doing stretches on hard floors with the knees in contact. It’s possible to dislocate the knee cap and you don’t want that!

Thank you Saeth I had no idea about that. I will use my Mat next time.

Here’s where im at =]
my fronts are being so stubborn – I’m stretching regularly and I’ve kept thinking for the last few months ‘ok next week FOR SURE ill be flat !!!’
Meanwhile…..just keep swimming, just keep swimming haha 😉

Hi, Ladies!!! I have not been on this thread in a while. Long story short, I an nursing a bad back injury and was not allowed to do anything for months. I have been cleared to do light splits training now. My 2 block over split is gone. My splits are gone in general. I am starting from scratch now. I started again yesterday with AA splits DVD. I did sit some parts out. It felt good to do not again! I will be starting SV lessons again as well and using them as well. I will try to have my husband take pics and I will post them here.

That’s weird, could have sworn I wrote a reply o.o Welcome back Luvlee, I’m sorry to hear about your back injury. I bet you’re thrilled to get started again! Maybe you will progress faster having already had the splits in the past? It would be interesting to see 🙂 In regards to photos you may find it more beneficial to work out where to place your camera/phone/webcam to take your own photos. This way you can take the photos from the same spot. A few degrees of difference in angle can make it look like you haven’t progressed at all. This way you won’t be reliant on hubby either 😀

After my appoinent today, my back and ribs didn’t look good. She actually told me to back of of some of the stretch poses I was doing. I am afraid I will end up in a chair doing wrist circles to work out because it seems that there is nothing I can do that won’t pop my ribs out. 😔

Checking in for May, I don’t know if I’m any lower… But maybe I’m squarer (and maybe that’s just my upper body bending towards the camera last month)
-
I’m way overdue for an update. I’ll try to get a couple pics tonight.
-
No drastic improvement but I’ll take every little bit I can get.

I’m so joining this challenge. Even 6 months should make a good difference~ Does anyone have ideas on how to work side splits without straining your knees?
-
Feeling like this thread needs a good ‘ol ressurection! So let’s do it!
I do not currently have pictures (maybe later tonight? Or tomorrow morning!), but I feel I’m closer to my left and right side splits than ever! I can see my foot when I turn my head a bit while stretching… it’s a little weird! I feel like my legs are SO LONG when I’m stretching for the splits!
My middle splits are still a bit ornery, but I’m working on it, being patient!
I don’t know that I’ll have my splits by the end of the year… but I am DEFINITELY much closer than I have ever been, in my whole life!
How’s everyone else doing?? -
I’m pretty sure I’m going to be adding @Blogilates #journeytosplits challenge to the routine for July. I’ll be posting my pics on Instagram, and if there is anything worth sharing I’ll share here as well. If people want to play along I can always start s new thread for it…

Attaching a pic of the challenge as well as the instructions.
Im using the challenge as a fun motivational tool, still going to try to keep up with what I’ve been doing. And I think I need to add Veenas middles routine to the mix when I have some time!
-
I love her, she always so energetic and her tutorials are great,somehow I always want to exercise after viewing just one vid. I just saw this today and decided that I will be doing this as well…..😣cause I fell off the splits practice train…😢…it stopped back up….then it ran over me…..reversed and ran over me again😂😂😄
Time to scrape myself up and get back on
-
Way to remotivate me as well 🙂 I’ve completely fallen off my entire workout routine. I’ve been in a terrible funk. My personal & professional life has been a mess. But this looks like fun!

What an awesome challenge! I’ve just got back on the net after moving two houses and moving back in with my family and doing my exams. Life has been really hard for me on so many levels and it’s hit my poling as well as my splits. All progress has just stalled, including pole! It’s really frustrating and I feel disappointed in myself for not sticking through with it all. I had to scale back my stretching to twice a week as I was just stiffening up too much and then everything in life just went crazy. I’m going to try once more to get back into the swing of things but my mood has been low and I think a lot of it is the Mirena IUD I had put in. I know I’ve had a lot going on but I’m usually tougher than this so I don’t think it’s just that.
Oh well, I’ll just aim for a summer restart!
