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 😄
I don't know if you're going to read this, but I wanted to say THANK YOU! I completed the twenty-eight day challenge and I am super happy and proud because I got my split! again, thank you so much for helping me fulfill my dream🥺❤️
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
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! 파이팅!
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
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!
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!
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✅️
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
I was nearly there but I thought I had a while longer to go, apparently all I needed was a good stretch!! Thanks for this routine 🙏 got it in one go on my right side
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
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
Oh those one leg quad stretch is no joke n me feet kill me doing it, so cant do that yet, hamstriings not a bother, heel stretch thats circus shit. I tried doing a 30 day split class like this a few yrs back, couldnt get them cause of quads, its the one thing that pple fail over, but im gonna try, almost do them but back quad wont touch the ground, tyvm btw x
I would not recommend for beginners on flexibility because the stretches are hard, i started off as a beginner and is was very difficult but if u do start as a beginner dont go all the way u could get hurt
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.
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 :)
@@RachelGulottaFitness Ha that's great- NASM introduced me to that info. & it's so true about people being freaked!! Thanks for the awesome value! xo Will be doing many times- 2021 I'll get my splits
@@RachelGulottaFitness Thank you! I've (luckily) never had any issues with static stretching before but then heard conflicting ideas about never doing them first, or, as you say, it can be totally fine before certain workouts. Might try what you said about doing these in the morning and evening too to see the difference. Thanks again.
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'm only five or six times in and already seeing progress. Not even close to the ground, but atleast it's improved lol! Does anyone know how to modify the heel stretch, because I can't hold my foot and straighten my leg?
Finally did it. Took me 3 months. I started at 2 yoga blocks laid flat. Now I can do full split left and right. I still need good 20min warm up before I do my splits.
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 😄
Did you do any other split stretches or length in time beyond this video? Congratulations!
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
The dog content is so wholesome
I’ve wanted to learn this for ever and now I WILL!!!
I don't know if you're going to read this, but I wanted to say THANK YOU! I completed the twenty-eight day challenge and I am super happy and proud because I got my split! again, thank you so much for helping me fulfill my dream🥺❤️
@@RachelGulottaFitness i'm gonna try to do it🥰thank u❤️
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
OH MY GOSH YESSS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK
A nice stretching routine.
I will definitely repeat it until I reach my split.
🙏Thank you so much
doing this everyday for a month and I will update it

Where you go@@balvey.s

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

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

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

Its normal feel a little bit of pain in yhe thigh while doing the exercises?
Im currently 3 days into this and i am seeing a slight improvement hopefully i will be able to get my spilts by the 28 days ❤
No way you gonna set spilt in 28days
I remember the feeling of doing my first split and i want it back lol
Oh those one leg quad stretch is no joke n me feet kill me doing it, so cant do that yet, hamstriings not a bother, heel stretch thats circus shit.

Do my hamstring stretches need to be that low? I’m getting nowhere near that far down🤷♀️
omg I LOVE THIS❤️
I wish I can do this
I will try this everyday and give updates!
Day 1-I felt the deep stretches
what's the update??!!
Oh I've been doing the stretch and I'm almost to the floor I just need my legs to go further :)( sorry for not updating lol)@@beatriooz
I’m going to record my every day and post it here when I reach the splits
Finally I can kick higher in taekwondo I am qualified for stunt training thank youuu
Im on end of day 2!!
thank you !!
I tried but I need more time doing side and middle split
Day 1 Done
And?
So, we should do this video every day? 😊
I'm only five or six times in and already seeing progress. Not even close to the ground, but atleast it's improved lol! Does anyone know how to modify the heel stretch, because I can't hold my foot and straighten my leg?
I'm getting very close with my right split 🎉
I've done the video ten times in a little more than two weeks
i already know tomorrow i will regret not doing a warmup today
Day 5
1 yoga block away
2wk later still 1 block away but it’s so easy to get to this level even without warm up
Finally did it. Took me 3 months. I started at 2 yoga blocks laid flat. Now I can do full split left and right. I still need good 20min warm up before I do my splits.
Throwing myself into this challenge i always want to do splits but opps i will turn 25 tomorrow don,t know but with age flexibility sucks
@@RachelGulottaFitness haha thanks
Going to try this today! And I'm recording my info on here just to keep up-to-date

Its so shocking but i have got my slips in 3 days 😮❤
How did you do it? I'm also doing it for 3 days, i see big improvement but im still not even close to doing splits
No where near a split but let's see what happens Feb 28th.
update?
This is completely unrealistic for beginners... what a joke..
Oh I missed the part about it not being for beginners.. sorry about that
