Realistic Time it takes to do Middle Splits

Some things just take time. Hope I've offered a realistic amount of time & effort behind getting the middle splits done!

You are my hero man. I hate all these ‘splits in 30 days’ videos and finally a realistic video. Thank you so much.

[@yingrongshao]

I love that I finally see a rational voice on getting your splits!! When I watch those "getting splits in 30 days" videos I'm always surprised how they didn't injure themselves in the process. In one of my first training sessions, I didn't even stretch that far into pain, but my hamstring popped, something tore, and it was quite painful for a while. I agree that safety, quality, and sustainability are more important than short-term progress.

[@lineseverinsen8637]

I needed this! I'm on day 70, and in the last week I started to give up. The program I bought claimed that you should be able to get into a split in 30-60 days... I think I need an another 700😅

[@Moneyversac]

You really deserve more subs, you are great and your videos motivate me to keep going 🤝 Stretching for the middlesplit since 6 months I will not quit until I get there. I stretch it 3 times a week every week without failing. In general I love your approach and it's exactly what I want to do as well. Thanks for the time you took to record your videos

[@surelywoo]

Thanks for your video. I have been working on my middle split for a few months. I am making progress, but it is clear that it will take time.

[@AboutWellnessKevin]

You got this! Be generous to yourself and keep going :)

[@Lukasz.Kaa09]

Thanks for being honest bro 👊

[@redcronojm]

if youre already full grown up. Never exercised wide stretching legs as a kid especially gymnastics or martial arts. More loose and tear can recover quick then it easier

[@education9135]

When I take rest of like 2days and go back it becomes difficult it's like I'm starting from scratch. Some people they take like a week not stretching then restart some a month then restart it helps but its like a waist of time.

[@TheMariusz700]

Amazing video :)

[@AncaDitiu]

Congratulations! I've been struggling with my splits since forever :)) but I admit I haven't been consistent so that's why I had very little progress but you reinforced me the idea that is should take a long time otherwise you risk injury because there are so many stuff that should be developed patiently..

[@modernps8197]

Share more of your experiences here, just like this video. I also started exercising at the age of 23, I have been doing bodybuilding for 1.5 years and I have been doing CrossFit for 4 months now. Everyone has different actions based on their genes, physical ability, and adherence to principles. The important point is continuity.

[@simoplaysbonanno6884]

Hello! Thank you for sharing your personal experience with achieving your middle split! I hate the people who say "get your split in 1 month" that could be possible for an extremely flexible person maybe? But definetly it takes more more than that, I also think everyone has their own time until getting the full split. What I'm saying is that everyone is different and for example I reached your pose at day 348 in roughly 3 months. But good job on getting your full split, you truly put the dedication in it. I'm still working on getting lower and lower.

[@education9135]

Including 717 days how many days didn't u stretch, like I want to know the days u stretched were 717 days and days u didn't stretch were how many.

[@jtleon7086]

Set goals, not due dates. Thanks for the wisdom

[@education9135]

How many times did u stretch in a week, did u take breaks. Were u working or staying at home. When did u start to see development in which month.

[@education9135]

When u start doing this shit. Stretch u are supa progressive and after a long time u are not progressive plateau

[@education9135]

U should post again when u have reached the level u want 180 degrees

[@education9135]

I am currently on 1 year and about 3 months while I have been stretching and I have seen improvement but I hope God helps me reach the floor amen.

[@simeon-1383]

Actually it's gravity.

quality and safety over efficiency and speed, CHECK

[@bonjo6904]

Great video!​ Can you​ Please​ show​us what excersises you done to get to your goal and days/times you trained your splits!? Thanks​ and​ subscribed

[@AboutWellnessKevin]

Thanks! 1:40 onwards shows some examples of exercises I've done. I did short 20-30min low intensity stretching (almost) every morning & night, and active high intensity stretching sessions 1-2 a week starting mid-way through progression. Hope this helped :)

Think its a lot of genetics too. I´m a 6´6 270lbs german guy and I can split down till about 50 cm off the floor without ever stretching at all. I can do super good ass to grass squats tho, maybe that helped.

[@G_K1]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Flopsaurus]

Thanks for the videos dude. This stuff is hard work, and for most people - guys especially who are not already flexible - this will take an enormous amount of time. Realistic expectations are super helpful.

[@TREK1305]

Good stuff. I’m likely I’m stage 3 of your journey. I’d say a month in with several months if not 2 years away. U confirmed what I was starting to figure out. I knew that was getting sore from stretching & had to take off for soreness just like w lifting.

[@klaudiagaeunkim]

I started training for splits few days ago and this is by far the most realistic and honest split progress video I've seen😊 I'm so far from the ground so I don't get my hopes high on getting the splits in 30 days😂, but at least it gives me hope that if I stick to my goal I may be able to achieve it someday ^^ Thanks for sharing your journey and congrats on getting the middle split🤗 🥳 Keep up the good work🎉

[@AboutWellnessKevin]

thank you for the kind comment! yup, you'll achieve it for sure, just matter of patience. Keep up as well!!

[@joonkik]

Great Video!! 😍

[@TimLowPT]

My guy! Amazing video

[@softvampir3]

love your channel just discovered it and am planning on working on doing splits and similar challenges to you so thanks for giving a realistic timeline

[@AboutWellnessKevin]

You're so welcome!!

[@dvltheo382]

Thank you for the honest and benevolent content 😁 I’m french i hope i choosed the proper words 👌

[@AboutWellnessKevin]

you definitely did choose the right words! merci :)

[@gameDev_Pat]

Welp, I'm starting my split journey starting today.

[@evanmaclean943]

Aight well I’ll say I’m on board to subscribe and be one of the first before your channel gets bigger. I have been stretching for 8 months now still can’t touch my toes. I also practice middle splits. Still a long ways from. I feel a very tight line when I try and not sure if that’s normal (tendon near knee on inside? ) in any case I just try to get 3 days in a week of a good stretch session. And after those sessions I especially feel sore the next day. Was this the same for you?

[@AboutWellnessKevin]

Thanks for the comment! I didn't feel sore on days that I did light stretching, but as seen on the video, when I started doing more stretches with loading/intensity, I did feel sore on some occasions. In my opinion, rule of thumb is to go slow but moderately add intense (intentional contraction/added weight) here and there on days your body allows you. Hope this helped :)

[@modernps8197]

Tanks,

[@byungju7150]

1:59 😂 cant wait to see another challenge!!

[@EagleBlondie]

Welcome back to KZbin! This video is really well made and sends a good message. Focusing on one movement will lead to faster results. Also - it takes knowledge to break through plateaus. How did you go about finding helpful sources that you could trust?

[@AboutWellnessKevin]

Thanks! Just lots of "studying" through youtube/instagram experts! I incorporated lots of ideas from and - maybe they might help you too, definitely helped for me :)

[@saburo22]

bro thats some dedication, nice job

[@ongoing1969]

Hi. can you share(recommend) some middle split information videos or your middle split routine? Your video is awesome

[@Miss-Willis]

Another brilliant video! thank you!! :)

[@KoolT]

Yikes, I'm still not watching the news much like you said

[@camnovak]

yes sir this is the actual truth, not that bullshit click bait out there.

[@MrBwetch]

I like your goals and attitude, I subscribed for more :)

[@SebaP1991]

I love that you are being honest and shared your story/process. I really appreciate it. Thank you. Can you record a video what exercises did you use to achieve splits specifically?

[@AboutWellnessKevin]

hopefully I will! For now, focus on doing good mix of passive and active stretching (e.g. wide squats)

[@shubhamtiwarrior]

I am done my middle splits in just 15 days

[@User_ML907]

Great Channel. New subscriber.

This is a great video.

[@tamasnyerges2011]

thx!!

[@Darr_l]

Can i have a question how often you did it everyday? For 717 days?

[@AboutWellnessKevin]

Hey! I did short 20-30min low intensity stretching (almost) every morning & night, and active high intensity stretching sessions 1-2 a week starting mid-way through progression. Hope this helped :)

[@raekim2342]

WOAH!!🎉🎉🎉

[@kendalgee5808]

That is slow AF. It should have took you 30 days. Instead you wasted time doing other stuff like handstands and etc. If you want to learn airflare, practice airflare. If you want the splits, use proper form, use your breathes to ease into it, relax, and you should have it in 1-3 months max.
