making another big cake (vlog)

[@hannahashley2882]

i've said it a thousand times, but i'll say it again: nothing makes my day like Grace's content does. There's something about her vibe that gives me the wholesome, happy serotonin feels that I need in this depressing quarantine season

[@fennecfox9490]

Couldn't agree more - she literally BRIGHTENS my day. She is my role model.

[@NR-jr4sf]

Agree absolutely, I am really struggling with an episode of depression atm and she really inspires me to carry on.

[@Vivsbakes]

she's amazing isn't she, love her chilled vibe

[@ThePringle268]

My biggest tip for the splits is to HOLD your stretches for a good amount of time so your muscles can truly relax into it - I am talking at least two-three minutes per stretch - and my next tip is to not give up, I stretched every day for around a year to finally get there but now I can sit in my splits for hours and not feel anything because my body is so comfortable with the position. So like with anything, consistency is key!

Your hamstrings are inflexible, that's where you're struggling with stretches the most. Your hips are generally fine. In your lunges, make sure to straighten your back knee. I dance, and increasing my hamstring flexibility helped the most with splits. I recommend doing some yoga for it, the downward dogs are a lifesaver!

[@bluerayblair522]

Is it actually doable if learn to do them as an adult? I had this belief that if you didn’t learn the split when you’re younger or have done gymnastics you could never do them and I don’t know where that belief originated from lol 😂

[@thatcoldtaxi]

@@bluerayblair522 totally is! after practicing yoga i was finally able to do the splits for the first time in my life at 32! anything is possible at any age.

[@jjjemmaaa]

@@bluerayblair522 you can learn as an adult, it's just easier to learn as a child

[@Lydia-th5jh]

@@bluerayblair522 You definitely can! I started dancing when I was 16, and I got my right side splits around 18. I stopped dancing for a bit, lost my splits, and regained them around age 20. I dance with adults and a lot of them gained flexibility later in life. It's a lot easier when you're younger, but with persistence, it's totally doable at an older age.

[@molly4nne]

tips for splits from a competitive dancer of 11 years and counting; - make sure your body is warm before you start to stretch, eg go for your walk first. this will help your blood to pump around your body and warm up and prevent any injuries from happening. - anna mcnulty get the splits fast is a god save and i teach my students this routine in their flexibility class. - when you stretch ensure you are challenging yourself, however not injuring your body. eg, pushing your lunge so you can feel the stretch working. - really focus on the hamstrings and hip flexors! when i get new students this is normally what needs to become more flexible when attempting to get here splits. - make sure your hips are square, this is probably one of the main reasons why people cannot get the splits. they are using using the wrong muscles and making the wrong shape. to achieve this when in your splits put your opposite hand on your leg and the your other hand on your opposite leg. so you are somewhat twisted, this will help you square your hips. YOU GOT THIS GRACE! PERSISTENCE AND ROUTINE IS VERY IMPORTANT, I BELIEVE IN YOU!!

[@79Hannahbanana]

I am in my final year of medicine currently and studying like crazy. I stay on campus working till late and when I get home it is my chill time and everyday when I get home I just watch Grackle and Extra Grack videos...not matter how old they are because they are so pure and wholesome and JUST THE BEST. I am constantly running to my sisters room to show her hilarious bits so she knows when I get home in the evening, its Grackle time! Love you!

[@sarahcorke4252]

yes please do a day of eating school dinners!! You could even do breakfast club food for breakfast!

[@tweetscotchy1093]

“...I want to learn to do the splits...” This made me do a spit take. I have a long running joke with one of my sisters. The jist of it is “I COULD do the splits right now if I weren’t wearing these jeans...” Over the years it has morphed into seeing acrobats, dancers, contortionists and saying to one another, “I could do that..” I guess what I’m saying is that there is no need to learn how to actually DO the splits when you could just SAY you can. Lol...

[@rosygallaway]

Grace! I’ve been doing that splits video since April (lockdown lol) and I am almost there now. Stick with it 💜

[@xoviolet32]

for getting your splits I recommend the 14 day splits challenge video by the channel Boho Beautiful ! breath-work in combination with the right stretches (and repetition - stretch everyday!) is a really important part in getting your splits and the boho beautiful channel is great at this ! I’m a dancer and already had my left and right splits but was forever struggling with getting my middle one, and that video helped me so so much! also tip - when you’re in a lunge keep your knee right over your ankle for proper form, and I recommend being careful about not putting too much pressure on your knees in stretches like that because it could cause dislocations and in being a bit thinner you’re more prone to dislocations. best of luck !

[@emmalouisecusdin479]

I adore that your family is open to trying so many dinners, my fam are so fussy

[@supperfuntime36]

As someone who used to dance comparatively, here are my tips: 1) hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds 2) make sure your body is warmed up since stretching cold can lead to pulled muscles (if your still doing the couch to 5k the best time to stretch would probably be after a run) 3) make sure your hips are in line with one another, basically if you push one hip farther forward or backwards it lets you “cheat” out of some stretches

i can do the splits but learning how to do them is a slow process. remember to not push yourself too much when you're doing stretches that you feel hurt a lot as you can end up injuring yourself. just remember to be consistent with it. do a ten-minute stretch every day, and then dedicate a day, maybe a Saturday or Sunday when you do a longer one for like 30 minutes.
