is the scorpio the one where you bend your legs over your head while doing a chest stand?

@paulettepoles: i bought the ebooks for side and front splits and like them, too. when i don´t have a complete hour i only do the exercises i only do those exercises which are necessary for the splits and leave the stretches for other body parts out or do them only very short. although i didn´t work on my side splits for a while before i could reach a very low position at the first time i followed the exercises.

the only thing i miss are some explanations about the splits. in the front split ebook one exercise is a front split (but there are different variations) and in the side split ebook you don´t even do a side split. i do one of course afterwards as this is what i bought the ebooks for… but i really miss some tipps to get a good and right position in the splits and stuff like that.

worked on my side splits again today and the exercises were really good. i like especially those with only one leg ^^ i used a yoga block for this one and it stretched very good

i didn´t get deeper yet, but this will need some time of course

 

just had problems with the side split with my knee facing upwards. it felt strange and unnatural in my knees and i had problem to keep my legs in a line while sliding down.

when i do my splits with my knees pointing forward i do it on front of a wall and keep my bottom and feet touching the wall, so that i stay straight with my legs. in this position i lean forward while holding it. 

for the other side split i used my pole to hold on while sliding down so that my upper body stays upright, maybe i´ll place something to hold near the wall next time to help my legs stay in line

thanks. i´m started working with the v brithers dvd last week which includes the exercise on the back. i´ll try your tipp with the straps! when i only pulled with my hands it didn´t work so good.

i will add the other exercise also to my flexibility routine ^^

i´m sure my boyfriend will help me with partner stretches (as long as he doesn´t have to stretch ^^). a video would be awsome!

[emotioncatcher]

thanks again for your help! i´ll try it next time with my knees pointing upwards. i don´t care if it will take a bit longer then to get a full side split, getting more flexi sounds great 😉

i usually stretch after nearly every pole training, but i one day only work on side splits and the other on front splits. so i don´t stretch as often as you do, but about 2 times a week at the moment.

can´t wait to try all your tipps and see if i´ll make some progress again

[emotioncatcher]

thanks a lot for your tipps. i´ll stretch my legs now also seperatly!

what do you mean with going back and forth. in which position should i do this?

i think i didn´t get informed about the comment yet. the only one i received from you, was at my video "the Q", but there´s no side split in this one. i´ll check my mails again later.

 

i also wondered if i should place my legs different. i prefer to slide down with my knee pointing forward, but i also saw people doing it with their knees pointing to the ceiling. do you know which one is better or easier?

[emotioncatcher]

ok, it works from a superman ^^ but i think it´s not the best way to do it, because the bigger the distance to the ceiling is, the more dangerous it gets

[emotioncatcher]

i did my first deathlay from an air invert, too as i felt saver this way. but i didn´t get as close as with a air shoulder mount. i´ll try it now from a superman and let you know if it worked

[emotioncatcher]

looks very pretty! can´t wait to see all the sexy clothes! do you ship worldwide?

[emotioncatcher]

she looks so funny =) but very impressive that she could do something like an aerial invert!

[emotioncatcher]

i think the easiest way to get out is to hook your inside leg to get into a scorpio

[emotioncatcher]

thanks for the info angel. that sounds dangerous! i don´t have the dvd with this exercises, but if i´ll once get, it´s good to know that

[emotioncatcher]

i never had this problem, but maybe you could try it from a jade. i think you´ll be a bit more vertical then.

i filmed my aerial fankicks today and posted the video =)
