❤️ Hey everyone! I got a lot of comments saying this video is not beginner enough, so CHECK OUT my newest video on How To Get Splits For Beginners & The Inflexible th-cam.com/video/e4gewupWjPk/w-d-xo.html ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Hope you all like it!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This one was perfect for me! (Not that I’m flexible, but the explanation and pacing were great)
But I’m still going to try out this link as well
How long did it take for you to get your splits
@@naomithewriter8381 yea
🙏
Like literally I learn how to do splits in like 5 minutes 😳
Ok when I was trying to get my splits I’d wish someone told me this. If you stretch you WILL get there !! Just do it and once you get there it feels so freaking good !! You can do this ((;
Anna’s Abyss I’ve been
stretching for four months and nothing has happened
Joanne Lazo by nothing do you mean you haven’t gotten your splits or you haven’t gotten more flexible? Because getting your splits won’t happen in four months but if absolutely nothing is changing and you are challenging your body in these stretches then you should see a doctor?
@@maddynicolelee actually I got into my splits in that amount of time I just did a lot of stretching mixed with working out
Would ya'll shut up?
Hannah Meeks u do realize this is a comment section right 🤦🏽♀️ it’s made for talking ... nobody has to do anything 😂🤷🏽♀️
Me does my right leg: I don’t feel pain
I do my left: OMG AHHH
Ty this helped
Apparently, there is always the 'good leg' and the 'bad leg'. Didn't know either.
My left leg was mostly definitely harder but my right leg was easier but my right hurts more than my left leg 💀
yeah wow thats alot of work
Same
Katie Games same
"so we're gonna start of in an easy pose..." Me: Almost rips a muscle
ME
HAHA
I think i heard something tearing apart while doing this :D
Ftjdhjt
hahahha same
Her: “keep going you’re doing great :)”
Me: literally bent like a pretzel
😂
😳😳😳😳
Couldn’t even touch my feet before I tried this and now after one session I can! Thanks 😄
Jonathan lol I still can’t but not giving up
Same i couldnt do it after 10 min but now i can lol 😚🥳
Mee tooooo
Sameeeeee 😃😃😃 haven’t been able to touch my toes for the past 6 years
This for sure helped me out I’m in pain tho after one session 😭💀
I wanna practice this everyday.
Day 1: oh man that’s hard. My legs form like a right angle.
Day 2: It’s not getting easier but I’m getting stronger. Remember you want to impress them one day, you can do it Nour.
Day 3: I can honestly feel a slight difference wow!
Day 4: I could feel my heart beating from my knee. I could feel that I’m getting better. The butterfly position becomes so easy at the end.
Day 5: I’ve missed practicing this day.
Day 6: I can feel a slight difference in the split.
Day 7: I’ve missed it as I was travelling outside London.
Day 8: ahh seems like a long way.
Day 9: I could feel a slight difference. Also you sound like a youtuber her channel is called “With love Leena”.
Day 10: I literally screamed when I tried the split I want it to happen.
Day 11 + 12 +13 :I’ve missed it because I was busy and I’m sorry
----------
From now on I’ll only update once a week.
Week 1: 01/08/2020 : like I could feel a slight difference especially when doing the split. Wow
Week 2: 08/08/2020 : I didn’t get the split yet but these exercises have increased my legs flexibility, sometimes I feel I’m flying while walking. I feel more confident.
Week 3: 15/08/2020 : I could feel that both of my legs are closer to the ground.
Week 4: 22/08/2020 : whenever I start doing any of the moves in this video I just notice that my body goes down with no resistance, I’m also closer to the ground.
Week 5: 29/08/2020 : it’s so wonderful how the butterfly position at the end becomes so easy and flexible. I’m still striving to get the split. Being physically fit increases your mood and vibration. I’m enjoying the journey
Week 6: 12/09/2020 : at the start my hands could barely get to my feet at 9:36 but now they get pass them! Incredible
Week 7: 19/09/2020 : my right side split is so close to the ground, plus I’ve managed to balance myself with putting my hands on the ground when doing both sides split!
Week 8: 26/09/2020 : I’m 7cm away from the ground when doing the split. My body feels like a feather
Week 9: 03/10/2020 : this process rn will take a bit more time to reach the ground
Week 10: 10/10/2020 : Around 5cm from the ground. I told him today that I know how to do the splits so I need to really get it done before we meet
Week 11 + 12 + 13: 07/11/2020 : I am on the ground now but I can only stay there for a couple of seconds. The tension is strong but I’m nearly there woah!
Keep updating please ☺️❤️❤️
Here I am so your comment doesn’t get lost 👁👄👁✨🌳
yay
Congrats :D today is my day 3 and my legs feels like it's burning
@@savyluwiii lol same I can't split my right is coming my left left is feel like so painful lol
Me: My legs don’t bend that way!
Her: your doing great
Me: BUT MY LEGS!
HAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

You'll get the hang of it!! Stretching and flexibility takes time, sometimes a lot of time! Don't give up ❤️❤️
@ zahra aynaz, what the heck is that lol plz teach me ur language 🤭
To all the people who are curious about the process:
YESSSSSSS IT IS HARD BUT
I have been following this tutorial for a while now and YES there are IMPROVEMENTS, i can touch my toes and my head can reach and touch my legs. When doing half split touching toes, i can also reach my toe and my head can also reach my legs. Although im currently not reaching my full splits, but i can see that I’m near to the ground than i was. So if you’re out there trying to do this, CONTINUE do not give up
Guys, I'm just here to motivate you. YOU CAN DO IT. I managed to do the splits in like 2 months and 12 days (with breaks 1nce or 2wice a week depending on how sore I was) on my left side. I didn't use this video but I'm just here to say that it is possible. With dedication and consistency and sudden surges of motivation (causing you to push yourself down further) you should be able to do it in less than 5 months. I'm 5'6 and 15 so maybe thats a factor but I was an athlete so I'm pretty sure that was a set back because my hips were less flexible and i have tighter muscles (or something like that) but anyways... YOU CAN DO IT, IF YOU TRY, (WITH FRIENDS LIKE TIMOTHY BY YOUR SIDE)
ty so much for motivating us i hope i can do splits soon :)
I'm really beginner it's my fiiiiirst Time evvveeeer to start doing splits it's my first day tho...will this help me...i did it right now...will this help
ahh thank you! how flexible were you before you started?
@@catherinekazmer6413 I couldn't touch my toes. And I did a lot of sports so my hips/muscles were really inflexible. But I followed multiple splits follow along routines so I didnt get board of constantly doing the same thing.
@@bimboodekunle4296 which one u followed please I can’t reach my toes to
Im not flexible by any means but in my opinion this is the most laid back stretching routine for the splits. It’s very beginner friendly I appreciate it alot! ♥️
That makes me super super happy to hear, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Y’all just keep doing this everyday for 15 days and the splits is yours and perfected! Just keep going!!
I did it for 3 days, everything but the lunges in the morning, and whole video at night, and I'm almost there I'm so happy!!!
Yeah nope! I thought so too. It's been more than a month now and i reached my peak the first week. Hsvent been able to get much lower
That’s amazing! So happy for you and yes consistency is key!! ❤️❤️
@@tasianasanchez13 yayyy I love that! Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️
@@MyFictionalChaos You’ll get there! You’ll maybe need to stay longer in some positions. Give it a try, but listen to your body if things get too intense! Sometimes it takes some a few weeks and others months, don’t worry about that! We all have different bodies 🥰🥰🥰
Hi guys!
Just some pointers that I forgot to mention in the video. Don't allow your knees to go pass your ankles when bending into the low lunge!
First on this comment
No actually I was here first and then I deleted the reply so it was meeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
@@QTwitthaBOOTY Girl. No you weren't
@ Quotes for you I was I'm telling the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@QTwitthaBOOTY sure lier. If you deleted u would probably re write. And u want to get the attention.
Me doing this:
My right leg: *:D*
My left leg: *D:*
My right leg; ;D
lucky both of my legs hurt as hell ŏ̥̥̥̥םŏ̥̥̥̥
This is me rn, I’m close it’s just idk what to lol should I let myself touch the ground wouldn’t that hurt? 🤔
@@venus9604 Same, I can almost touch the ground, but idk if I should let myself down or...;-;
Jungkook's Daddy Periodt I mean, you could what I did was search up ppl who can do splits and see if I was ready, I’m not just yet but it definitely help to see when I’ll be ready 💪
Who’s doing this in quarantine😂
Thanks for the likes ❤️
Omg guys Tysm I’m not really a beginner
I’m doing it in quarantine! Lol 😂
Me lol
Me
And me, hahaha
Emily Zhou it isn’t quarantine anymore
For anyone struggling make sure you're fully warmed up before stretching, cold muscles are more likely to tear than stretch. Do a good fifteen minutes work out at least before moving onto more advanced stretches, it'll make all the difference.
It's true 👍
Yes!! 100% 😌😌😌
like what workout? :(
@@rienn8559she has some workout videos for figure skaters you could do those before you start
It's hurts in I'm a lil cold but can it's still works cuz I was doin it's in yuh
After almost 2 months of consistently doing this I can do the splits!!! omg I'm so happy, I still can only do the right leg in the front, but I was about as flexible as a rock. You can do this, I believe in you!!! I thought my big a** and thighs would never be able to do this, turns out I was wrong ❤️
I’m so happy for you!!! And so glad my video could help you get there 😍😍😍 Yes, even big booty girls like ourselves can do this, doesn’t matter what your body type is ❤️🥰🙏
Literally started crying because I could barely do any of these stretches. I must be THAT inflexible. :,(
I started out like that too... I can see much improvement after 2 weeks... It'll be hard... You could use ice pack to soothe the muscles and get enough sleep for muscles to recover..7 hrs... But the feeling you get when you can perfect these is so awesome... The pain is worth it...
Don't get discouraged!! I can barely do any of these either, but the way to fix inflexibility is to stretch every day, so im sure if we take 10 minutes every day to do these then we will get there eventually! 😄
Yeah, same. I was like that. But now, I'm so much closer to my left splits! Don't give up!
Keep going, you can do this!
I can barely even reach forward because my gut is in the way LMFAOO. We can do this. I’ve been stretching for a week and a half and I can feel my body getting looser and healthier :) you can do it too!
On the third day i pushed my limits, and whenever i walk or sit my legs fell like they r being stabbed with a knife but eventually i got my split in a week so thank u💜💜
You probably pulled a muscle... Hence the sharp pain.... Be careful w pushing yourself too far bc it can lead to serious injuries.... Be sure to warm up alot BEFORE you stretch.... Like running in place or taking a walk around the neighborhood.... Basically a little cardio to warm up the muscles wake em up and say hey man let's get to work ☺️😂 I swear when muscles are warmed up they are easier to stretch..... Like w cheese for instance lol.... Stiff til it's warm
@@eccho1 wow i learned something new thank you i mever really new that but good thing you told us so thank you have a great say or night and stay safe :)
Today is my day 3 I feel like my legs are burning
You shouldnt push the stretch if it starts feeling painful, its supposed to cause discomfort but not a huge amount of pain. Dont risk pulling a muscle or rupturing it.
Becareful with over stretching its a dangerous position you could get hurt but CONGRATULATIONS on your split im still in the process
Personal Daily Check-In: [Don’t Mind Me]
Day 1 of 30 - Clearly I am as ✨ inflexible as a cow ✨ ... I can’t touch my toes, I am unable to fully do any of these stretches, and each brought on a bit of pain. When attempting the splits, I am unable to straighten my legs on both sides and my torso remains about a foot off the ground. But I’m honestly looking forward to this.
Day 2 of 30 - Pretty sore from yesterday, but I noticed that doing a morning yoga routine first (Yoga with Adrienne) helped me ease into it today. I will continue that. My left leg is clearly more sore. Not too much difference in the stretches from yesterday, but my hips do already feel a bit looser.
So, I'm probably as flexible like I can do a cartwheel, reach my toes when sitting down, with straight legs. So if you are as flexible as me then this will probably how long it will take you to get the splits, I also find that my left leg is better than my right leg.
Day 1: I feel okay, a bit achey but not that bad, I can't get my head all the way down in a butterfly but I can touch my toes while sitting down in a sort of plank.
Day 2: When I reached my toes in the sitting position, it hurt, a lot. I was trying to push myself as well. But now I feel stretched out! My right leg was hurting a lot (because it was my bad leg) But my left leg was okay!
Day 3: I think I can get more further down in some of the stretches, but only a bit. I still can't get my head down in a butterfly, but I'm getting further! When I tried to do the splits, I was pretty far down, in my left leg!
Day 4: I can nearly get my head down in butterfly! It's really hard but I can nearly do it! When I was doing the middle split stretch I couldn't feel a stretch...am I doing that stretch right? When I tried to do the splits in my right leg, I feel like it's a bit further down from last time! My left leg is doing great!
Day 5: When sitting down in the plank position I felt more relaxed, this time! And, when I tried to do my right splits, I could see I have improved. I also tried my left splits and I have improved quite a bit!😁
Day 6: I can see I'm improving a lot in my right leg, and I am so pleased! My left leg is improving as well, but my right leg is nearly on it's way there to being as flexible as my left leg! In butterfly, I still can't get my head down, but it is getting further down! I'll keep on updating!
Aww thanks sm for this
Wow!!! Thank you for so many and detailed updates!!! I love it!!! How are you doing now? Keep those updates coming 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
"if you have real trouble here, get a friend to push you down or someone around..."
Me: *but I'm actually doing it secretly in my room*
**Day 12 of doing this, come on guys!
@@tehyoshi9190 I feel you deeply. Even though being flexible isn't my strong point I want it to be more confident while I am forced to play different sports in school😫
Same here 15 days completed almost .. although i have been stretching somehow
@@ajina1947 And how's it going? Did you get your splits?
@@vslsk8605 yes i have done half part and i am getting close. Although it used to pain a lot at beginning but now a lot better , but you should choose to have nice diet as well from my experience otherwise a lot of energy will be wasted stretching your body . Now i am really feeling proud 😊 to choose hardwork and result is going to be great .
@@ajina1947 I'm happy for you
Every time I tell myself that I'm going to get into the splits
And I get really close to the floor and then I somehow stop and dont feel motivated to do it until the end
😫😫😫😫
When she was stretching in butterfly I thought that my screen was frozen!!🤣. Who else thought so?
Thanks for the likes😃
Omg yes , that's what I thought I went closer and realized he was still king the stretch 😲😝😜
Omg why do I make so many mistakes
Lol 😂 also the time was 2:54
😁
Same lol
pov: it’s 10 at night and you got the urge to do this bc of WAP

ARMYYYYY
Starting this in November 2020😅 like for me to update and motivate myself
Day 1: ✅ hurts really badly
Day 2 : ✅ still hurts😭
Did you die on the third day?
😧 I almost did a full split!!! When she first said “now slide into a split” I was like wtf?? I came here bc I couldn’t do one BUT I tried and it legit felt so SMOOTH 🤗 @SofaBar you’re like a goddess 🙏
Aww I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
My legs feel like there gonna break off but this video has really helped me improve
BAHAHAH BREAK OFF DONT WORRY, ME TOO
That true
So happy to hear it helped you!! Hope the pain is getting better 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Day 30 its been one month since I started this journey Im so glad I did . the improvements are very noticeable i might not have my splits yet.but im positive and this is just the beginning.Since this process might take a while i will start updating you guys per week I will tell you the process i make each week.😉💖
so im here a month late.. but how is it going lol. Have you gotten your splits?
It's been a year did you do it???
It's been 2 years did you do it?

LMAOOOO ME TOO
Love this! ❤️
wait I’m so embarrassed I thought it was just meee HHAHAHA
I'm as bendy as a wooden log lol, trynna do this now on. Will keep posting updates every week.
Week2- It still hurts but I'm able to bear the pain now. It used to the whole day at the beginning but it only hurts during the stretches now. Also I'm able to touch my toes with my head in the butterfly pose now
Week3- I'm able to touch my knees with my head. My body shivers so bad while holding but I'm finally able to touch my knees with my head
Week4- almost touching my knees on evert exercise, not gotten the splits yet
THIS WORKS, I’ve been doing this 7 days and I almost have the splits before I was no where close to doing the splits. HIGHLY RECOMMEND✅
Mam, I'm 16 and not flexible... Will i able to do!?
@@bri.3228 for sure, I'm 16 too and i can almost do the splits because of these stretches. YOU CAN DO IT! : )
@@jadeandgiovanni481 I can't even touch my toes😭 wr u flexible from the beginning
“If you have real trouble here, get a friend to push you down”
Quarantine, my mom’s usually busy but she might
Haha 😐😑same 🤫
well there's that
Ok I did that part real good but was so scared I was gonna break a bone [where the sun don't shine] 😐😐😬😬😬😶😯😯😔
Hope she was able to help you in the end! You can also attach a resistance band to something and pull yourself down ☺️☺️☺️
Pro tip for those without a friend or doing it in their room out of embarrassment (like me 😭):
For lunges, forward stretches, etc, place a rope, belt, thick string, etc around a sturdy bed leg or something. That helps me pull my self even further down
Good idea 👍 I hope u r doing great, and it's helping u to achieve the spilts
Nice advice
You have the same name as me B)

So about 2 weeks ago I searched up how to get the splits, I wanted to try out for my dance competition team and you were required to have both splits. I was close on my left and not so far on my right. After doing the stretches once i saw a big difference in how far i could go. I made a promise to watch this video every day so i could get the splits. Now I'm on the team! Tysm this helped a lot!
Wow!! That makes me so happy to hear and I’m so happy I could help you 😍😍😍 congratulations as well ❤️❤️❤️
From trying it for a few days, I have also realized how flexible I actually am! Though I can't do the splits yet I can do quite a lot of stretches which my legs and this motivates me. Thanks so much
SofaBar Fitness! Hope everyone is manages to do it as well and don't over stress! xx
I’ve always wanted to get the splits, and have just started getting back into dance. I’m going to do this everyday and keep you all updated. Day 1: It hurt a lot, and the splits were very hard as I couldn’t keep my knees straight.
how is it going ? ik you got this
Hi, hows it going? Can we get a update?
Love the updates! Keep them coming ❤️❤️❤️ You’ve got this, don’t give up ❤️❤️❤️
My biggest issue is getting my face to the ground. No matter how spread my legs are I can’t get my head on the ground I guess because of my back?? Idk
I get what you mean. When i had my legs open I couldn't touch the ground whit my face because off my back (I'm just guessing but I say this because I felt tension in my back but nothing in my legs) What I did was I got someone to push me down (of course without doing it rough) and I touched the ground for the first time whit my face in that position. When I did it again the next day I was capable to go a lot lower, 2 days later I was capable to toucht the ground whit my face on my own.
I'm not saying you need to hurt you to do it. I'm just saying what helped me. Maybe you could try it?
Just please be careful. I was a little too reclless and looking back that could have ended so wrong.
in
my case my belly wont allow me to go that down to the ground
@@valeriaaguilar4396 same here sis ... same here 😂🤣
It could be! Which stretch are you specifically talking about?
@@Sachi-zv7qq This is a Great idea!!! Also attaching a resistance band to something and pulling yourself down! But definitely take it easy and don’t be rough on your body ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for this video! I started out as not flexible at all (couldn’t touch my toes) and after doing your video a couple times per week I’m already so close to a split. Tip for others who started out inflexible like me: put the video on 0.75 speed when you do it so you hold the stretches for longer and go a bit deeper
Out of all the videos on TH-cam for splits stretch yours has helped me a lot after only 2 weeks!
That makes me suuuuuper happy to hear!! 😍😍😍😍😍
I love how you always keep your smile in every video, even during the harder workouts. :')
I try my best 😅❤️
@@Sofabar @SofaBar Is it just me or you really have a mild scoliosis? The right side of your back looks slightly higher than the left when you bend over. That's why I ask.
random hero Yes, I do 🙈
@@Sofabar and do you have any issues because of it? Does it bother you or affect your activities in any way? Mine looks about the same and I am REALLY worried because of it. I want to exercise but I'm afraid. I hope you're doing fine with it.
random hero To be quite honest, I don’t even really feel it. Or I’m just so used to it, that I don’t even know about it. I only feel extreme tightness when I do backbend positions. I think it’s safe to say that exercising and stretching can be very beneficial for scoliosis. You need to strengthen the muscles in your spine and back. I would definitely make sure you have an a ok from your doctor though.
I farted on the second stretch 😭😂
A month after I started this I finally got my splits! Sent this to a friend and she got hers too! Thank you this helped so much!❤
Don't give up gus! I started these excercises in March and was super stiff, couldn't even reach my toes... now 9 months later I still can't do the split but this takes time since I was this inflexible buuut hold on! :)
Good news is, I can reach my toes, almost can lay down on my legs doing these exercises and still have like 18cm to go to reach the split, which is ahuge success for me. I know that for some of you it is easier and you might be able to do the split in 9 months but for people like me, who have really tense hips, it could take more than a yeat to do it but don't give up! 💕
I love this message! Thank you for sharing it 😍😍😍 And also for choosing my video, so proud of your progress already and wish you the best in getting that split 🙏❤️🥰
Ugh I need a reminder to do this every day now
Reminder start doing this
same my dude
Bitch I can’t even hold a pose for a second I’m defo not doing this every day 🤪😅
So did you learn it haha
@@andrinevedvik8592 no lmao I gave up day 4 😅😅😅
Just started stretching for splits this week! This timing is so perfect
Hope you like it! ❤️❤️❤️
Okay YALL. I’m not going to be here and update u like an annoying person BUT i did it IN A LITERAL DAY, I thought I had to do it for a few weeks but OMG, watching this video and following it, was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.
Omg I'm so happy!!! For the first time in 26 years of my life i can touch my toes. Been doing this 4-5 times a week and definitely noticing the difference.
IT CAN TAKE DAYS, MONTHS, YEARS. DONT GIVE UP !!
Awesome! I can do the left foot front split; making progress on the other side. It's amazing that I can be flexible in my 40s.
Yessss age doesn’t matter!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hii ice@bell@sk8 were u already quite flexible before u got the splits and also how long did it take u?
@@alexandersamuel7897 I’m glad you asked. I wasn’t that flexible in the beginning. Even before the pandemic, I would stretch before and after workouts. I’d say that it took me at least 5 years to get flexible. I just stretch every day.
This is motivating to me because I’m 22 and not flexible at all 😭
ive been doing this for only two days and i already have improved so much. i used to not be able to touch my heels or put my head on my knees while sitting, but now i can perfectly do it. This is a good workout. After I did the stretches, i was really sore the next day but it felt really good doing the stretches. Im so glad i found this. :D
Yay that really makes me so happy to hear, so glad to have you ❤️😍🙏
Tysm my splits got down so much farther and i’m so close!! Love how u stretched all of the muscles
That makes me sooooo happy to hear! Thank you!
I came here to learn how to do my splits for drill team (which I achieved) but this video has helped me in other ways. I’ve always been real tense and always felt like I need to pop my back every 5 seconds but after doing these stretches daily I feel great and don’t have any more pain. Crazy how all I needed were a few good stretches to help me throughout my day so thank you.
Omg. This got me so far down I’m doing this everyday ILYSM
That's sooo amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg i used to dp this every day last year and i got them
I lost it after losing motivation but my friend is begging me to do cheer with her so im going back
She said do the butterfly:
Me: cant bend down at all
😂😂 same
lol I can almost touch my knees to the ground after I stretch just takes some practice
I tried to bend n I'm like oh no😂
I can lol
This will be my improvement chart I'm gonna update daily
Day 1: it really hurts especially on the hips and my back but I think it will be very worthy and the butterfly it's the worst
Day 2: i woke up earlier and my legs hurts a little but its fine and the butterfly is easier i can see the improvement but the back is the *worst* it hurts more than my hips but its fine
Day 3: I can touch my legs now with my head and its less painful and I actually touch the ground when I try to split on the right side but it's not that straight and the left one is more paunful
Day 4: the butterfly is now a comfortable position for me since it doesn't hurt that much but ths position 2:40 hurts really bad i hope it will be more comfy as time passed
Keep stretching i was so close at one point and stop stretching and my flexibility went out the door
Ok
Day 1: pain mainly in my knees
Day 2: a little less pain
Day 3,4,5,6, and 7: I did some of the stretches but not manny because I don’t want to hurt myself
Day 8: Let’s do this! I feel like I’m getting closer but idk. I feel like I could but my knees r holding me back so I’m gonna find some targeted stretch’s for my knees
Day idk prolly sometime week 3/4: I have 5 inches to go and 4 weeks ago I was at 14 inches
Yesss love these updates! Keep them coming ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@Sofabar So I took a really long break. I ran into some other life issues and this just wasn’t my main priority. But I am back at it again and pretty close to where I left off!
Hey:) I just wanted to let you know that your videos have been so helpful for me. (Especially during this COVID isolation) I cannot be on the ice, but your videos have given me something to strive for and look forward to in the mean time. Also, I may not say this correctly, but I appreciate your attitude towards exercise. I suffered with an eating disorder and compulsive movement, (I can't say I am in full recovery because they are still genetic tendencies after all and I always have to be aware) but I am doing well enough now to APPRECIATE your videos and they feel like a safe place for me to enjoy exercise and to focus more on the technique and beauty rather than the abuse of exercise.
Thank you, you're a sweet heart! -Meg
I'm so happy to hear that my videos are helpful to you and you feel safe doing them! That really makes me super happy! I hope I can create more and better content like this for you and others to enjoy, thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me too 😌
I just got my splits!!! I did this stretch for 2 weeks every single day and I FINALLY got it yayy!!! Thank you so much!
Really congratulations ❤ :)
@@jiminsjamsescaped4389 thanks!
wow what? two weeks? that’s incredible
Thank you so much for this video! I've been stretching all summer following your routine and I finally got my right leg split yesterday!
That is so amazing!!! Congratulations 💕💕💕💕
@@Sofabar thanks so much your videos have helped me so much with everything ❤️
Feb 17 2022... I've been doing this video mostly every day since the end of Jan and I'm already seeing results. I can touch my toes, I'm way more flexible when walking, my calf muscles are looking more lean. Who knew just a few minutes of stretching a day could do this much good? 😘
As a boy doing these, all I can say is this: pain.
Will y’all shut up with these “as a” nobody needs to know what or who you are 🙄
Brii Stop being so salty.
@@brii2743 someone's mad god damn
Oof guys can't do the splits as well as the girls
@@aishathzyva2063 of course they can but it just might take more time
It’s been four days so far! I hope I can get more flexible soon!
Thx for the great video btw 💕
So happy you liked the video!! Wishing you all the best, you’ve got this ❤️❤️❤️
I had been doing this routine for a while and today I almost did a full split...! @SofaBar Thank you so much...!!!🤩🤩😍🙏
Can u do a full split now?
@@bellaamazing4123 I was able to do a full split a few days after posting that comment... FYI I had been following other stretching routines too...
At the beginning of this I couldn’t even get my head to touch my feet in the butterfly position. During the last butterfly stretch at the end, I could! Thank you! Can’t wait to see my progress!
Love this tutorial. Stretches feel great, and I’m almost in the splits.
So happy to hear that 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
OK so I was a gymnast when I was like five, and I quit when I was about seven, so I’m not flexible anymore but we’re going to see where it ends up. Day 1: going so far is pretty good still stretching, my hips do not wanna stretch so I’m gonna have to work on that stretch. Day 2: I can now put my knees to the ground in butterfly but my hips still need more stretching
I was built weirdly where I couldn't stretch far, I've been stretching for about 5 months now, and I can almost finally do splits! KEEP ON GOING GUYS! You can do it
That's soooo amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a true novice and chronically tight hamstring owner I have to say this is super effective and helpful
Day 1 of 160, I'm trying to better myself and feel better in my own body. I'm hoping to do this every morning. Not sure how I'm supposed to warm up first before doing this though. Any input is appreciated 😁
U can do high knees ,jumping Jack's and burpees . They really warm u up
Update?
It's getting a bit easier!
I'm far from flexible to begin with so it's gonna take some time
Update :)
My exams are in a week so I've been getting ready for them, I'll be coming back to this afterwards
Thanks! I've gotten so close on my left, or at least I feel...
This video, hopefully will help me go all of the way down! Should I update?...
Edit: I updated on the wrong video like an idiot. 🤦🏽♀️
But I'm almost at my left splits. Turns out I wasn't as close as I thought I was, but now, like 2 days- a week's worth of stretching once or twice a day could get me there!
Definitely
@@fadwatadist3397 Okay.
@@fadwatadist3397 If I reach the goal, just know I was already close on my left splits, and that's what I'd be updating you on.
Okay I’m doing updates just to keep myself motivated 🤞🏻
I think I have my hip flexibility since I’m able to do all the hip exercises but my hamstring is as stiff as a steel 🦿
-> I’m doing this twice a day
DAY 1: I can’t touch my toes. I’m unable to keep my legs straight when I bend down. I can do butterfly. I make a freakin pyramid with my splits.
DAY 2: still the same, less painful though :)
DAY 3,4,5 : your girl got her period with severe cramps :’(
DAY 6: back at it again! Honestly idk if it’s just in my head but I feel like I can go lower on my splits. My hamstrings are still hella stiff though, my legs get super shaky when I try to touch my toes.
Update weekly from now on*
Week 2: done, I feel like I can go lower but still not close to a split. Also discovered that my bad leg is my left leg :’)
Keep up the good work 😍❤️
I just starting doing this and I hope to one day get to the splits. At minimum, my ever persistent sciatica pain, that I have had since March, has been completely eliminated by following this routine. HUGE WIN!!!!
No way!! That's amazing to hear!! I'm really so happy to hear my video helped with your back pain, wow ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Day 29 well its been almost a month since I started even though i dont have my splits yet im so much flexible that i was before. My hip doesnt hurt but im going to give it a break just to let it heal completely and be on the safe side. Anyways im close to the floor.and im very excited to see what will come💖

U can do it I am starting doing these stretches for like 3 days ago and then I was able to touch the foot all the best btw 😊❤
@Ahnya Williams yeah it was working nicely but i have been not doing streches so guess what I have to start doing streches but for me it took 2-3 months i really became flexible but no i am bit nit flexible i have to start doing again 😌
@Ahnya Williams yep it's been 2 months and I can do it, but you have to be consistent for achieving it.
But if you stop it, you may loose your flexibility
@@taesfrenchfries8243 i love your username ARMYYY
@@jiminsjamsescaped4389 ARMYYY YESSSS
Day 2 Done. Putting this here to hold myself accountable. I’ll keep on til I master this & then go more advance. Good luck everyone!!
GIRL WHERE YOU AT?
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY SPLITS FOR THE PAST YEAR - THERE WAS A SMALL IMPROVEMENT.
BUT I'VE BEEN DOING YOUR ROUTINE FOR ONLY 3 DAYS AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER MY ELBOWS TOUCHED THE GROUND WHEN I DID THE MIDDLE SPLITS! FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I WILL UPDATE AS AND WHEN!
Yaayyy that makes me so soooo happy to hear!! Love this! 😌😌😌
im on day 2 doing this and i'm so mad because i can open a perfect butterfly and touch my head on the ground however touching my toes feels like im being exorcized omg.. anyway im not giving up
Good! Don’t give up! You WILL get there!
Saaaaame
Did u do it?
I have the opposite problem!! So crazy how different all our bodies are! But you’ll get there! Just takes time ❤️❤️❤️
This has helped me so much I learned the splits in two days thank you for making this vid
That is amazing!! Congratulations 😍😍😍
So I would say I am moderately flexible, I have been doing this stretching routine for about two weeks now and guys LET ME TELL YOU I ALMOST TEARED today. Even though it was slightly challenging, but I was able to get down to the floor completely on my left leg split. 😭😭😭
So for those of you wondering if this works with consistency and challenging yourself, IT DOES!!! I am so happy I hope you all achieve your splits soon, much love. xx
Yayyyy! That makes me so super super happy to hear ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ So happy for you!
I just wanna drop by and say thank you. I've been using this video for around 2 months. For years now I've only been able to do left split, but thanks to this video, I can do both sides now! Thank you!!!
Hi, great routine
I’m a beginner so i wonder how often i have to do this to get my splits please
Everyday!
SofaBar does this help with middle splits?
My sister is starting splits so I thought it would be good to do this. thank you for posting it
I am on Day 16 of doing this video and today is the first time ever I have managed to do the splits! And I am not the most flexible person in the world. That being said I can only touch the floor with my right leg forward, with my left leg forward I am still a good 5/6inches from doing the splits. But yay! I can do it on one side. I can feel myself get more and more flexible everyday. The other leg will catch up in no time I'm sure.
That's so awesome!!! Wishing you the best in the rest of your journey!
THIS WORKS!! I can finally touch my toes :)) took 4 sessions
That is so amazing! I'm so happy to hear that 😊😊😊
I'm a boy, and I want to learn this (I hope it is not too strange lol). My flexibility is absolutely terrible, but it won't be anymore, starting from today
It isn’t weird that you’re a boy trying to learn the splits. I think it’s cool! Plus I’m not flexible at all either.
@@just_another1human61 Thanks!
My right leg: chillin B)
My left leg: OH OH THIS HUR- OHHHHHH STOP STOP WOOOOO OUCH
Hahaha 😂😂😂
My dance studio shut down and I have a placing for a new studio in less than a week...I haven't stretched/danced in 5 months. Thank you so much I almost have my splits again lol
I'm 2 weeks in doing this once a day and my crotch is 3 inches from doing the splits!! I hold each stretch for 15 seconds pulsing and 15 seconds hold...i feel doing this allows time for my muscles to release. This is the best video tutorial that ive tried that got me close to splits in no time! Thank you!!
That makes me sooooo super happy to hear! I am so glad my video helped you improve your splits, that makes my day!! 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you soo much for this routine I can’t
believe I did a full split 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
I'm so suuuuuper happy to hear that 😍❤️❤️❤️
these poses : *exist*

You'll get there! Don't give up!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’m gonna do this every day so I can get better!! Thank you so much!!! Before Video: 2-3 inches off ground. First Time: 2 inches (I will do the rest in the replies after every day until I can constantly get my split!! So excited!!
I got my splits as a teenager and through my twenties I could get them if I stretched really well for like a week. And then I turned 30.... I swear all my muscles tightened up. I'm 32 now and I am amazed by how stiff I have gotten since turning 30. I started doing ballet a few months ago and my posture and strength are steadily improving. I now feel like it's time to really work on my flexibility, and I want to get my splits back! This video really opened up my hips and I was able to get within about 6 inches which is the closest I've gotten in years!!! Thanks so much!
The knee crossovers damn near took me out, I felt & looked like the screaming tower of Pisa 😂😂!! That stretch pulled the most But great work out, I’m going to keep doing this every day before any workouts!!!
I already have my split but this made it more advanced
Yayyy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m around an inch off the ground on my right leg and 2-3 on my left leg. I’ve done these stretches before but I quit and now I’m staring to do them again. I’ve done them since Monday and I’ve already seen so much progress. I’ve tried other stretching routines but yours is the only one that has worked for me. Every time after doing this routine I get my splits and before stretching I’m closer than I’ve ever been. If anyone wants to get there spilts I recommend this. Wether your 1 foot or 1 inch off the ground it’s gonna work to get your splits and overall just improve your leg flexibility💜🖤
So I’m technically not a beginner.. I used to do the splits like 10 years ago in high school and I wanted to see if I could try to do it again.. I’ve tried other videos with no actual success and very different stretches.. so I started this video with very low expectations but I’m not even kidding after I did her stretches and we went to slide into the splits.. I LITERALLY DID IT only for like .5 seconds, but still I’m so excited! I’m going to use this video and hold it longer each time so I can actually do it for a duration of time like she can. This video is the best I’ve tried!
This helped me so much and I could finally do the first excersize all the way to my head to my feet thank you so much
Yay that is amazing! So happy for you!!! Glad I could help 🥰🥰🥰
