Technique for performing half-twine

Half split is the most effective preparation exercise. No other stretching exercise will set your body up for a split better. In the process of performing half-splits, the muscles are actively warmed up and gradually get used to a certain position. This significantly reduces the time to reach the coveted twine.

For a variety of techniques, half-splits can be performed while sitting, standing, with your leg resting on support (chair or wall). When performing, it is important to have a good sense of the capabilities of the body. Depending on the exercise, stretch the body with a straight back towards the bent or straightened leg. One leg should always be in support (as a rule, bent), while the second leg should be in the most straight position and strong traction. When performing, do not arch your back and watch your knees, they should always be straight.
