Stretches to Prepare You For Doing Splits From Scratch

Classic split with an increase in traction with an incline of the back

It is done during a period of high level of training.

1. From a squatting position, go into a classic split, taking your pelvis slightly to the side.
2. Aim to lower your torso next to your straight forward leg.
3. Hold the pose for 40 seconds, feeling the maximum tension under the knees.

Recommendations for beginners

Regular exercise, not overloading, active warm-up, listening to the body’s capabilities and controlling the technique of mastering the landing are the main recommendations.

Stretching can sometimes be very dangerous and have consequences. That is why it is important at the first stages to listen to the recommendations of professionals.

Stretching, just like strength training, takes time to recover.
