Stretches to GET YOUR SPLITS in 28 Days

[@kamilka222]

Not actually after 28 days, but after 2 months I got my splits! (Take a note that I didn't always do this consistently, rest day is okay, but my breaks were sometimes about 3 days long). I'm very proud of myself 😄

[@Laura-TheMedicalTattoo]

Did you do any other split stretches or length in time beyond this video? Congratulations!

[@yourlocalwaifu8601]

She makes the heel stretch look so easy. When i do it, its like im fighting a war with my leg to keep it on the floor instead of popping up

[@alberta8122]

LOL LITERALLY! idk how to keep my hip down when doing that stretch 😭

[@luna_37382]

- day 3 in a row of doing this! I will give updates when I progress. Trying to do this every day! My right is a little better than left, but both are really hard and I am far from splits!! -Edit: day 12! this video feels a little shorter every time, before I had to stand for quad stretch, now I can lay down. I'm seeing a little progress! I'll update again at day 20 -Somewhere around day 30! Slow, but seeing and feeling progress! -Day 45 - Havent been as consistent but stretching when I can! (around 5 times a week). I'm seeing small progress, especially in dance class but I just want to get my damn splits already. Can't give up now! Like to remind me to update Update: it’s currently nutcracker week, doing a lot of dancing and my body is very tired so i’m taking the week off of doing this video.

[@sabin9002]

Just did the stretching and loved it! I'll definitely do this stretch more often since I am really close to getting the splits. Thank you for this video

[@girlswh0bake]

I've been working on my splits for months and started your routine about a week and a half ago. I finally got my splits on my right side!!

[@megblack5677]

I've been doing it twice daily and I think I see an improvement, maybe an inch lower! Still 12 to go!!! :) My hamstrings are so tight from all the computer work!

[@heddaliliegren]

I'm doing this everyday for 30 days and i will try not to forget. I am soooo unflexible and stiff naturally and ive never been able to do the splits but im going to stay consistant. Im starting at (not fully accurate) 25cm left to the ground on my right. Day 1: ✅️ Day 2: some poses actually felt a little easier✅️ Day 3: ✅️ Day 4: I felt less stiff but i see no difference in the splits so far (im not expecting that until like day 15 anyway 🥲)✅️ Day 5: ✅️ Day 6: ✅️ Day 7: felt a little sore today but good✅️ Day 8: ✅️ Day 9: ✅️ Day 10: I actually measured today and i havent seen any big changes but it said 20 cm and now im thinking i didnt measure it right the first day because how am i already 5 cm closer!!!✅️ Day 11: ✅️ Day 12: ✅️ Day 13: ✅️ Day 14: Did similar exercises in my dancing class so i count that as done haha✅️ I haven't done the stretching in a couple of days (except on my dance classes) because I felt sore in my right hamstring. Which I have injured before (like 2 years ago now maybe) so I got scared it would come back. But it's better now so I will probably start the stretching again soon and start over. I will not give up! But this time I will really make sure to warm up a lot before stretching. So just so you know I haven't forgotten I was just scared of my hamstring being injured Try 2 Day 1: warmed up thoroughly✅️ Day 2: ✅️ Day 3: shit i forgot, we'll call it a rest day😭 Day 4: ✅️ Day 5: ✅️ Day 6:✅️ Day 7: measured 18 cm!!✅️ Day 8: ✅️ Day 9: rest day Day 10: - Day 11: - Day 12: haven't had time this weekend at all unfortunately 😭 Day 13: Measured 16 cm on right !!🎉 almost 10 cm better than where i started✅️ Day 14: ✅️ Day 15: ✅️ Day 16: today i even saw a difference, im actually kinda close now!✅️ Day 17: rest day Day 18: ✅️ Day 19: ✅️ Day 20: omg mesured 14 cm!! And only 10 days left of the challange. I don't think I will make it all the way down but maybe I will get to 12 cm at least. I might continue on after this to get all the way down✅️ Day 21: ✅️ Day 22: holy shit i actually measured 12 cm today thats insane, how did it go from 14 to 12 in 2 days?!!!✅️ Day 23: rest day Day 24: also rest day Day 25: ✅️ Day 26: ✅️ Day 27: ✅️ Day 28: rest day Day 29: omg last day tomorrow, and im proud i did it today cuz i was close to not doing it✅️ Day 30: last day!!! And I have now 10 cm left on my right and 16 cm left on my left which is better than what I expected actually! Im so close and I will probably continue. Im so proud of myself ive never been this close to my splits before✅️ Okay so this is like a week after (October 27th) and I just wanna do a quick update. I have stretched like every other day and now im at 8 cm!! - Okay update again its november 15th im still going strong and i can definitely say that the last cm to the ground take much more time but my goal is to reach the floor by christmas or new years eve. But i have made some progress, im att like 5,5 cm left to the ground on my right:) - November 28th today and today I actually noticed a difference again. I can't really measure it anymore because im so low but I could feel and see that I was really close and I really really hope I can get it before christmas but idk. Im not making nearly as much progress now then in the beginning but I won't give up. Im honestly embarrased its taken me this long but whatever

[@lindsayhanson1978]

I started on Tuesday, took a rest day yesterday due to work and school, but I'm going to try to be consistent and I'll post updates! Just as a note, I'm starting off semi-flexible (maybe 5 inches off the ground when I go into a split) and I was a gymnast when I was younger so it may be easier for me to regain my split than if you are starting with no experience

[@samantha4131]

Did you end up getting it? 😊

[@marissafernandez98]

Im actually gonna try these for a month and see how it helps me. I have hip anf back pain and a good stretch like this sounds amazing! Plus im almost at the floor on both of my splits so im determined to get all the way to the floor again

[@yamilyr2259]

OH MY GOSH YESSS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK

[@francescorossi1237]

A nice stretching routine. I will definitely repeat it until I reach my split. 🙏Thank you so much

[@lexi-hl7tj]

doing this everyday for a month and I will update it Day 1: most of this was very painful and I could barely do any of the stretches correctly (hope tomorrow goes better!) Day 2: pretty much the same as yesterday except today i was more sore🥲 i will persevere! Day 1 Pt. 2 : Basically the same as the first day one but we will see how tomorrow goes lol Day 2: I took a day off because I was sore but today was better! Most of the stretches were the same but I felt like some were a bit easier :)) Day 3: Pretty much the same as yesterday but I already feel like my left and right split are getting a bit better ??? Day 4: ngl i really did want to do this today but im glad i did! i actually saw a noticeable difference with my left and right split today (nothing crazy just noticed it was a bit easier), there are some stretches that are still quite difficult to even attempt but i think it’s going well! Day 5: I took a day off because I wasn’t feeling great but today was pretty much the same as day 4 Day 6-10: I saw slight improvement in my actual splits and some of the other stretches. I’ll start updating whenever there are changes so that it doesn’t get too cluttered. Day 11: I don’t know what happened but today I saw significant improvements,, I was finally able to fully lay down with my knee still touching the ground on the quad stretch, i could actually keep my legs straight and touching the ground on the single leg stretch and heel stretch, and i was so so close to actually getting my right split it gave me a lot of encouragement because lately i haven’t been seeing many changes and wanted to give up but now im motivated 🥹 Day 16?: On the half split and “shift your weight” stretches I could actually touch my nose to my knee and keep the correct form! and on every other stretch that she touched her nose to her knee i got a lot closer! Also my right split is getting so close to touching the ground,, my left split is still pretty difficult but I can feel myself making so much progress!! (i forgot to preface this before but the reason i am doing this challenge is because i used to have my split but i lost it because i wasn’t managing it,, so i could possibly be getting it back quicker than those who have never had their split before) Day 25/26 ?? : I finally got my right split! My left one is really close but I haven’t gotten it yet,, I probably won’t be updating this anymore unless someone has a question but i will still keep doing it daily for now!!

[@ittzjasminem2227]

it gets easier eventually but it would probably hurt if you're not very flexible this video is more for maintaining your splits or getting down if you aren't already

[@tolani742]

Did this after my warm up (about to do your 20 minute choose your own adventure), but I just read the description so I’ll be sure to do this after my warm up & workout next time. Would be a good cool down too. I’m trying to get my splits for bants tbh as well as flexibility and for pole fitness. Great video as per!

[@anabeatrizquinto1894]

this is really cool, never thought about doing splits but now i am going to try

[@carlosmethodfitness]

Love this stretching video, Rachel. I was practicing some of these stretches with you in my living room. Bex

[@cmjdenver1]

I’m starting this today, I’m going to do it 6 days a week. I’ll update this comment once it get it 🤞🏾

[@domi69963]

I've started 75 hard, and getting back flexibility is a big goal of mine. Even as a boy I could do the splits effortlessly (at the annoyance of my far more athletic, gymnast sister who always struggled). As an adult, I am more flexible than my peers, but I haven't done much in a long time to keep it up. To my surprise, I got very low to the ground the first time I followed a long, but I'll check back in a month to let you guys know if I hit the floor.

[@ZoeyGudino-cw8kf]

Im going to try to do this twice a day and post my results right now I would say my split isn’t even close but I hope this video helps.

[@kamilgsj21]

How is it going ?

[@selma1065]

i just finished this workout and i loved it!

[@rachelfaith4936]

I used to do stretching a lot in dance classes (not ballet) and I definitely was more flexible so I'm trying to gain that back! I'll keep ya'll updated Jan 1: ✅honestly was not as painful as I was anticipating but still far from the ground so I'll keep working on it! Jan 2: ✅more painful now 😅 Jan 3: ✅ oww Jan 4: ✅Things were less painful today I'm excited for tomorrow! Jan 5: ✅Actually my hips were starting to sit on the pillow I put underneath during the splits! Jan 6: ✅I don't think I'm closer but everything is less painful (except them quad stretches) Jan 7: ✅getting there Jan 8: I had a dance class and literally couldn't walk after so I didn't do it today Jan9: ✅I really wanted to not do it today and I was fighting for my life with the stretches but by some miracle the splits itself was closer

[@hmfhkf111]

I've been doing my own stretches daily for about 3 weeks now and have seen significant progress, so I'll use this video daily as an extra boost to get my splits. This video has taught me that I've not been stretching as many muscles as I thought, so hopefully in using this video I can make significant progress towards my splits. Day 1: Pretty close to the ground already, but there is still loads more work to do. Thankfully I'm naturally pretty flexible and have gotten my splits multiple times during my lifetime. The hardest stretch for me to do currently is definitely the heel stretch, so I'm excited to see improvements there. Day 2 : I felt much less flexible today, but I was also much closer to getting my splits, so not sure how that works. Still very much struggling with the heel stretch. Day 3 : Genuinely can't remember if day 2 was yesterday or not, but I've stretched today and I've realised that to get my splits I need to stretch my inner thigh more.

[@sammys.6093]

I’m gonna try and stay consistent- I’ve never done the splits before in my life and i really want to learn: Day 1:☑️ this was difficult but i powered through and did my best for the first time doing it

[@sportsbel2971]

Just to provide feedback, you make the comment that ‘your left side isn’t very good…but it’s a free class.’ In my opinion that’s a huge misconception. People doing your classes don’t want to know how good YOU are, they want to see progress themselves, instructors that can do everything appear out of touch and unattainable. If your followers see you improve too…there’s no better accolade, so don’t undersell yourself. One of the best yoga teachers online with millions of followers certainly isn’t the best yogi on line..she is not so self indulgent and people like to be able to follow along with her rather than feel outclassed and useless. This was a good class.

I love this split stretch, I got what I like had deep stretches

[@cianoleary8727]

If someone was going to attempt some sort of workout as well would you say these stretches are better to do before or after? Feels like after (you say to be warmed up first in the description) but I'm never sure about these things in terms of which to do first.

[@jennyfischerfitness5374]

A dynamic warm up before your workout and these longer hold stretches are better after!! Static stretching before a workout isn’t ‘bad’ but will decrease your maximal strength/force output short-term. You’re probably going to also feel better about how deep you can get after because you’re nice and warmed up :)
