Splits – Train One Type Before Another?
Hi ladies,
Since my previous post I know that I can now stretch every day. But now my question is….do you train yourself to do the splits both ways (Front wards and side wards – I think they were called scissor and box splits when I used to dance)??
I only ask because I find it so much easier to stretch into the normal front/back splits than the side splits – my legs just won’t go any further this way!? Should I concentrate on the normal splits since I’m seeing improvement or carry on in vain with the other way too?

I will give that a go next time as at the moment I’m holding for 30 seconds and repeating 3 times. I usually do my stretches at the end of my cardio workouts so when I’m at the gym tomorrow I’ll try the 10 second hold and see if it makes it any easier with the side splits https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
