Flexibility Part 2 - Front splits and Side splits

Part 2 If you have not watched Part 1 on leg flexibility yet, please watch that first. https://youtu.be/1ypgGB5JybY These are the stretches I use most often myself and for my students for front and side splits These have worked very well for my students, with marked improved flexibility within a few months. The front split is relatively easier than the side split, but the front split has front right, front left, so needs to be practice twice for each side, whereas side split only need to be practiced once. Do some light activity and leg swings to warm up before stretching. Stretches can be done standing up, on a table, lying down or siting down. Don’t need to do all, just choose which you find easiest to start with. But try to eventually aim to sit down to do the pancake stretch which is the most useful of all the stretches. For all stretches, move smoothly with the back straight and core engaged. Hold each of the stretches for a minimum of 1-3 mins, but listen to your body, and stop the stretch if it feels excessive. Start with twice a week for 1-2 weeks, and work up to 4-6 times a week. Flexibility requires more frequent training than strength training.
