Wow I envy you. I have been doing Taekwondo for years, and never was able to do the splits. Hoping to follow these tips and be able to do the splits some day.

[@feliciasandiego4]

This year I will get my middle splits I swear! Soo.. I heard that its better to get the side splits first, and thats what I trained then :) one time I followed a different middle splits tutorial, a few months ago out of boredom, and snaped something in my buttcheck. I wasn't able to stretch AT ALL for MONTHS. It was really frustrating. I started stretching again with the 8 weeks splits programm on the relevé app and I'm really close in my side splits, and will start the middle splits journey in April again, with the 8 weeks programm :))

[@dariabursuc7295]

@ThiniaThanks!❤

[@mariap194]

I am a dancer and I already have my middle splits but I like doing this to maintain my flexibility. This is a good workout because it is hip friendly, I know a bunch of other stretching videos aren't and they have actually done damage to my hips so I really recommend this stretching vid for people especially beginners.

[@Upscent]

I am naturally quite flexible for someone who is not a dancer, and today I did this stretch workout for the second time ever. I am about 5-6 cm above the ground. No idea how much it will take me to actually do the full split but I am going to put all of my efforts in it. I can do the front split with both legs but the middle has been a challenge for me for years now. Time to do it! Thank you for all of your lovely workouts!

[@diamartin6865]

I haven't seen anyone updating comments regularly, so tonight I will start doing this routine and share my progress. Day 1: my hips hurt so bad but it was so much fun. Day 2: the last one makes my legs shake! I will try to do this twice a day, hoping this would speed up my process. (by the way, I am 30 cm above ground :( ) Day 3: this morning my right inner thigh felt sore so I only did the stretching routine once, today everything was easier and I feel like I am closer to the ground than yesterday. I do this when I take a break from studying, it clears my mind and I feel physically better, I think everyone can find 15 minutes in their day! Day 4: everything felt slightly easier today, I still am around 30 cm above the ground tho. anyway, I enjoy the process. I will repeat the stretch tonight and let you guys know. I am getting my split no matter what! Day 5: today I was out all day so I couldn't do the stretch, tomorrow I'll do it twice. Day 6: it feels easier, I think I will interpret another stretch to fasten the process. Day 7: completed! it was quite fun but I started having cramps on my feet, I think I over-flexed them. WEEK 1 RESULTS: I can observe the improvement on some moves like butterflies, on day 1 they hurt so much but on day 7 I could make my whole leg touch the ground. I am still quite above the ground, I think I just lowered a couple cm but I now have a better posture (I square my hips, etc.) On week 2, I'll do some extra stretches to fasten up the process, I want to get my splits before quarantine ends and school starts. I'll let you know!

YES! We can't wait to follow you on your journey Erin 🧡

[@user36963]

I love that you don't rush into the strechtes and that you take your time, because mostly 20s aren't enough. I also like that we can see (10:33) that these strechtes might hurt, because for me it is more motivating to stretch with somebody on my level instead of watching other routines which are without "emotion" Idk. I really enjoyed this strech!

[@pixydncer1]

Great routine. The voice over got lost on the last stretch which is one I would have really loved to hear your instructions/suggestions on since that hurts my knees.

[@bethstones9957]

I like your cheeky little smiles to the camera during your stretches.

[@robisonsn2]

I already have my middle splits through consistent stretching over the years. And often now maintain or try to gain more through cool downs after my workouts. I love videos like these because to maintain a wide range of motion, you still have to stretch to that range of motion, and I still feel the stretch in these. Thanks 😍

[@anellia.v]

I've been looking for a good split video in ages and I was never completely satisfied with the videos I found, but yours are the best I've seen. I love stretching "with you". I don't know if it's the music or the fact that you actually stretch for real with us but I love it.

Best stretching routine I’ve ever done !

[@thebloodrose96]

It’s interesting that this stretch routine is both gentle and effective. It gets obvious that it comes from professional. I had bad experience with a stretch routine that I’ve done from another channel. One of my legs got hurt and I couldn’t do any stretch for few months. The exact exercise, of course, is absent in this routine. Thank you, Louisa, you helped me loosen my legs and hips again! I do have results after few weeks of everyday stretching, and I feel I will continue for the weeks to come. I only wonder what did you said for the last exercise, if you remember? Because sometimes you give specific information and I don’t want to do the exercise in a wrong way. Thank you! Greetings from Bulgaria!

can you tell us which stretch that was? i wanna make sure i dont do it

[@thebloodrose96]

@@linja3060 Hello! It's the PsycheTruth 12 min Split Strech. It's the second performed strech, when she bends over her leg, and the other one is bent backwards. For me personally that's bad move because you can overstrech really easily and injure yourself, like it happened to me. Have a great day!
