I actually used to be able to do the splits as well, because I did Karate and I took my stretches very seriously. But then the couch potato life took ahold of me 😔
"Flexibility and I don't know each other anymore" Ahhhhh I feel that so much. Eight years of ballet and none of that flexibility and perfect posture exists anymore.
Mine is still somewhat there, surprisingly. Left leg forward split feels like it's never going to leave me. Haven't had any regular exercises for hmm 10 years. Shit, that sounds bad actually 😂
70% of the comment section has liked your comment (I know that not everyone who likes comments leaves comments, just let my bad statics reign), and that's power
Ellbat is one of the only people who can make the ad interesting enough that I don't just completely skip it. But then again, that may be the Ellbat fromt he other dimension only and not this one.
I feel you, the splits is also my party trick. It has literally earned me free pints of beers in the past. And yes, I did the splits on a sticky beer covered floor to get those free pints, but it was totally worth it.
My whole life I've been so unflexible that splitting my legs further than 90 degrees costed me literal pain. But I watched some awesome people on youtube this year and being as bored in quarantine as I am in the middle of November I decided - middle splits. Before 2020 is over. And now I'm about 10 centimeters above the ground, I know for some people it might seem alot but I've never been this close and I'm so excited!!! The timing of this video is perfect to motivate me on my journey.
Middle splits were something I could never achieve but I was literally a couple from the ground before I got injured in high school. I literally pulled a muscle while STRETCHING, this thing that is supposed to help prevent that from happening?? Also a knee injury that stopped me from doing any kind of physical activity in high school. Never stretched again and now I really want to start again. So proud of your progress, that is amazing! I hope to reach the same goal of getting all my spilts

I FELT YOU WHEN YOU SAID DOING THE SPLITS WAS A PART OF YOUR PERSONALITY. I used to dance and could do the splits and everyone used to be so surprised and intrigued
I was in a dance team, I was the least flexible and my best friend was the most flexible I asked him to help me with my splits out of the training sessions because I wanted a very specific scenario to happen I wanted our coach to one day tell me "You're gonna have to work on your splits now" and me, not saying a thing and really effortlessly just do a split... It happened... My entire team screamed
I NEEDED this video so badly. Over a year ago, I realized I was able to still put my legs around my head. I thought "Huh this is cool" and moved on. WELL, last spring I showed my friends (pre-quarantine) and they were very impressed. Ever since, I've been trying to learn to do the splits. I even downloaded an app, but it was an hour a day routine and very hard. So I settled with my perfect pretzel.
I never really had that much difference between my legs flexibility, but a tip that I've heard from a few people in my pole dance classes is to start stretching with your bad leg/bad side. Don't know how it works but apparently it really helps a lot!
You actually like - really inspire me to get up and actually do stuff . I just started watching you like an hour ago and I’ve already written down my to-do list and am planning to start drinking more water and eat more healthily and start working out and stuff . I really thank you for that .
That “dominant leg” thing is so true. I was in dance in HS and right before a comp I was told I had to do left splits instead of right (I had never been able to get down all the way on my left). Ended up pulling my hamstring in the middle of the routing (managed to get to the end) and I was out for a few weeks. To this day no matter what my left leg is the worst and I takes a lot of effort to stretch it out without pain.
Hi! So, I'm a expatriate (from the US) living in South Korea as an English teacher, and boy let me tell ya, my life is literally full of stress! I've learned how to live with my body being very tight and rigid. I'm also not the smallest person in the world, either. However! I know that this video wasn't really about how to do the stretches or whatnot, but it was really nice to hear what you said at the end. Thank you for not sugar coating it! Thank you for not being all high and mighty about stretching being the end all be all that I've seen other people on TH-cam be. You've really inspired me to just stretch. Thank you~
Surprisingly I can actually do the splits and have never been a gymnast/dancer! I love your videos and your personality is so fun! I hope you do well on your exams!
after watching so many videos of Ellbat trying healthy things and then saying how good they turned out, I'm kinda getting encouraged to really try them (and actually I already started with drinking more water)
I played goalie a lot in hockey up until high school and I could do the splits then. Now even some of those stretches scare me. I will challenge myself to stretch more because of what you said about stress. No I will not even dream about doing the splits it has been 48 years so that ship has sailed. I loved this video and the other dimensions so I will watch it again. Your videos are always worth waiting for. I hope your exams are going well.
@@missbeaussie Better than expected. I had Covid for 28 days last March and I have had "long hauler" issues that continue to this day that includes arthritis issues. Thus my ability to stretch is limited and improving very slowly. The stretching has helped with many of the arthritis issues and with my stress so I continue to stretch daily.
Hi there! I am 19, I was never able to do my splits. I was way more flexible as a child, an this summer I decided to follow stretching routines (which I've never done before tbh). I followed Anna McNulty's videos (she has a lot). It went like magic, I really enjoyed, and my flexibility improved a lot! And then, when school started I just fell back into my lazy lifestyle. :D Yeah, that's me. So as I was watching this video I got really excited to start stretching again! I really wanna make needles or a cool bridge from stand. Thank you so much, I can't wait to see you try more motivating challenges! :)
I had only ever done the splits on one side all my life and it caused one hip to be higher than the other for years! I would suggest that anyone doing these always do both sides equally.
I am Legitimately just going back and re watching videos because honestly you are just someone who brings up the mood, wish there were more of you! Thank you for all the hardwork you do. I appreciate you
i’ve already wanted to stretch everyday but felt like it was a chore. you have shown me it isn’t impossible to get to my goal (the splits and abs) so i will start that journey. thank you
"sedimentary lifestyle" ah yes, the point where you give up and sit in one place forever until everything piles up around you and the weight of all of this on top of you makes you literally become a rock
I'm a runner amd have been for 8 years. Stretching has helped me go from being able to bend down and touch halfway up my shins to almost my ankles. Still pretty inflexible, but it does help with injury prevention.
I remember the first time I did the splits... I was trying to show my mum how low I could go and I just remember slamming on the floor and being so excited 🙃🙃
Elena, I really hope no one clips the audio from this video of when you're trying to do your splits, you know with all the moaning and groaning, as you try and get the old stiffened muscles (that I have with you) to stretch out once more. As always, your videos make my days!
Wow you made some great progress, very proud of you! But I think it's important to be careful with stretches, it can be dangerous to do them out of the blue and it is important to do a warming up first. This way you prevent injuries and it makes the stretching easier, so you can go further. Another point, I can't see properly but it's a good split when your hips are straight. You can check if your hips are straight by lifting up your foot in the back, if it points to the ceiling you're straight if it goes sideways you should adjust. In order to accomplish a straight split you might have to go up a bit and twist your hips, but better a little more work for the right results. Good luck! ❤️✨
I really like this video. It’s coming from someone who it’s really naturally flexible or already knows how to do the splits (at least in a while). Makes it more motivating that stretching works over time.
my mom was a dancer, so I've been able to do the splits since birth :v, and done ballet almost my entire life which means my bones were formed (-~-) to do over splits
I love your honesty and I can relate to you so much. I’ve recently just started to get moving and doing yoga daily and I feel so much better because of it. I sometimes wonder why I was so sedentary for so long, if anything it was just due to pure laziness. I think as adults we find less reasons to set goals for ourselves and we also have less self discipline as we get older. I really admire your commitment! I come from a ballet background and I’d love to get some of the flexibility I had back. My goal is to get the splits (or close to!) in a month! It’s been 10 days of yoga and 3 days of splits stretching and I already feel more flexible.
I just did this stretch routine and I’m only about 2 inches from the floor! I’ve never had the splits before and I haven’t been exorcising regularly for the last few months so that’s amazing!
The fact that im watching this in a sweater so similar to the one you had on the first day and yesterday I told myself to start flexibility training, has to be a sign
OMG!!! I did this excercise once and held all the stretches 1min or longer then I got my splits!!! I was practicing for months.And I am sooo pround,happy and thankful!
I used to dance, but I was never able to do the splits. I was very close though. I'm halfway through my crunches experiment but after that I',mma stretch.
I used to dance and two years after I stopped, I got my splits?? Never had them the first 10 years I danced! Im back now but its so weird i got them once I stopped! I wish you the best in stretching
@@natcappetta569 Thank you! I'm trying to exercise but it feels very weird, cause I had a knee injury and I'm still recovering. So doing things I know I can feels just weirs and scary lol
As a fellow woman who used to be able to do both splits at a whim, no pre stretching.... I feel this pain and fall from glory! Especially the wanting to have them back immediately lol
The slits had been my party trick until I started personal training and that all went out the window. I'm 40 next June and want to be able to do the splits again by my birthday. Thanks for the inspiration 😊
It took me about 2 years, and another year beyond that to have them really consistently, like I knew I could just do them with no problem. Everyone goes at a different pace 😁
Not trying to brag but got my splits And my oversplits in three weeks 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃if u need a stretching routine I did then go over to Anna Mcnulty’s channel 😉😉
This is exactly what I needed, thank you for sharing!!! I've had a rough few years and have gained weight. I'm the heaviest I have ever been. I've never been into working out so the idea of exercise is negative to me. BUT I love to stretch! So now, thanks to you, I want to try this and work on my flexibility and then once stretching is part of my routine I can slowly add in some exercise too! For me, this is a great way to begin. Thank you so so so much!!!

Hi! So, I'm a expatriate (from the US) living in South Korea as an English teacher, and boy let me tell ya, my life is literally full of stress! I've learned how to live with my body being very tight and rigid. I'm also not the smallest person in the world, either. However! I know that this video wasn't really about how to do the stretches or whatnot, but it was really nice to hear what you said at the end. Thank you for not sugar coating it! Thank you for not being all high and mighty about stretching being the end all be all that I've seen other people on TH-cam be.
You've really inspired me to just stretch. Thank you~
I set myself a challenge that by the end of lockdown I would be able to do the splits. I did it for a day and couldn't be arsed to continue :)
Can we just talk about her acting skills? Queen. She's literally acting confused looking at a wall 😂
Surprisingly I can actually do the splits and have never been a gymnast/dancer! I love your videos and your personality is so fun! I hope you do well on your exams!
after watching so many videos of Ellbat trying healthy things and then saying how good they turned out, I'm kinda getting encouraged to really try them (and actually I already started with drinking more water)
I played goalie a lot in hockey up until high school and I could do the splits then. Now even some of those stretches scare me. I will challenge myself to stretch more because of what you said about stress. No I will not even dream about doing the splits it has been 48 years so that ship has sailed. I loved this video and the other dimensions so I will watch it again. Your videos are always worth waiting for. I hope your exams are going well.
Hey Paul. How's the stretching going?
@@missbeaussie Better than expected. I had Covid for 28 days last March and I have had "long hauler" issues that continue to this day that includes arthritis issues. Thus my ability to stretch is limited and improving very slowly. The stretching has helped with many of the arthritis issues and with my stress so I continue to stretch daily.
I am getting tempted to try everything you have challenged yourself to do in this channel .
Hi there! I am 19, I was never able to do my splits. I was way more flexible as a child, an this summer I decided to follow stretching routines (which I've never done before tbh). I followed Anna McNulty's videos (she has a lot). It went like magic, I really enjoyed, and my flexibility improved a lot! And then, when school started I just fell back into my lazy lifestyle. :D Yeah, that's me. So as I was watching this video I got really excited to start stretching again! I really wanna make needles or a cool bridge from stand. Thank you so much, I can't wait to see you try more motivating challenges! :)
I had only ever done the splits on one side all my life and it caused one hip to be higher than the other for years! I would suggest that anyone doing these always do both sides equally.
cool so this would benefit people with long torsos but unfortunately for me i have a really short torso :,)
i have two fitness goals for 2021: splits and one pull up. This was motivating, thank you!

Jokes on you I’m sat on my bedroom floor
Like i will actually stand up from my bed....😂😂😂😂😂
Jokes on you I'm not on my bed. I'm on the couch
Yeah I didn’t move an inch
Am I the only one who moved??
I am Legitimately just going back and re watching videos because honestly you are just someone who brings up the mood, wish there were more of you! Thank you for all the hardwork you do. I appreciate you
You never fail to cast a smile upon my face 😂 I loved the intro. That's ART. You seriously are my sunshine on some days, I'm not lying.
There is nothing that instantly cheers me up as much as your editing!
Omg. I have done gymnastics for 7 years, one quarantine stage and it is like i never did it! I can feel your pain! Good on you!!
(I am 11 btw)
This is my first time watching her videos and I love her she's so funny and I love her accent!
Ellbat: "Sedimentary"
Me: *imagining Ellbat statue*
Think you meant sedentary
but living like a rock tho 🤔🤔
*slowly turns into solid rock from the neck down sitting at my desk* are you sure about that
I saw in another comment she replied to she said it was based on a rock joke she made but ended up getting cut out 😂
i’ve already wanted to stretch everyday but felt like it was a chore. you have shown me it isn’t impossible to get to my goal (the splits and abs) so i will start that journey. thank you
It wasn’t that bad of editing...... it was good.
the intro is *chefs kiss* twas fantastic
"sedimentary lifestyle" ah yes, the point where you give up and sit in one place forever until everything piles up around you and the weight of all of this on top of you makes you literally become a rock
I'm a runner amd have been for 8 years. Stretching has helped me go from being able to bend down and touch halfway up my shins to almost my ankles. Still pretty inflexible, but it does help with injury prevention.
I remember the first time I did the splits... I was trying to show my mum how low I could go and I just remember slamming on the floor and being so excited 🙃🙃
Elena, I really hope no one clips the audio from this video of when you're trying to do your splits, you know with all the moaning and groaning, as you try and get the old stiffened muscles (that I have with you) to stretch out once more. As always, your videos make my days!
Wow you made some great progress, very proud of you!
But I think it's important to be careful with stretches, it can be dangerous to do them out of the blue and it is important to do a warming up first. This way you prevent injuries and it makes the stretching easier, so you can go further. Another point, I can't see properly but it's a good split when your hips are straight. You can check if your hips are straight by lifting up your foot in the back, if it points to the ceiling you're straight if it goes sideways you should adjust. In order to accomplish a straight split you might have to go up a bit and twist your hips, but better a little more work for the right results. Good luck! ❤️✨
I really like this video. It’s coming from someone who it’s really naturally flexible or already knows how to do the splits (at least in a while). Makes it more motivating that stretching works over time.
Haha I can tell I’m already going to enjoy this. I remember trying to learn to do the splits...
I heard a crack and i was done 🤣
Damn I would be terrified
Same, "tried" the spilts.. without warming up.. on tile..with socks on:) i heard a crack, felt a snap, and my hamstring snapped
You should try the curly girl method!! You always give really honest results and your hair is really beautiful!!
my mom was a dancer, so I've been able to do the splits since birth :v, and done ballet almost my entire life which means my bones were formed (-~-) to do over splits
Literally not how it works but ok
You’re the only person who’s sponsorships I always watch because you always make them so funny and cool I love it

I love your honesty and I can relate to you so much. I’ve recently just started to get moving and doing yoga daily and I feel so much better because of it. I sometimes wonder why I was so sedentary for so long, if anything it was just due to pure laziness. I think as adults we find less reasons to set goals for ourselves and we also have less self discipline as we get older. I really admire your commitment! I come from a ballet background and I’d love to get some of the flexibility I had back. My goal is to get the splits (or close to!) in a month! It’s been 10 days of yoga and 3 days of splits stretching and I already feel more flexible.
I just did this stretch routine and I’m only about 2 inches from the floor! I’ve never had the splits before and I haven’t been exorcising regularly for the last few months so that’s amazing!
Two of my favorite youtubers 😂😂 you and keltie 💕💕
I was super super close to getting my splits last school year before quarantine, but then I stopped stretching and I am now a good foot off the floor
Why are you so funny though?! Everything that comes out of your mouth has me rolling!!!😂😂😂 THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS!😁
New drinking game: take a shot every time elllbat says fruity fresh
Ill see you in therapy
The fact that im watching this in a sweater so similar to the one you had on the first day and yesterday I told myself to start flexibility training, has to be a sign
that was a perfectly reasonable opening and edit. don't be so hard on yourself
Thanks dude, appreciate the moral support 😭❤️
@@Ellbat I gotchu fam :D
She is hard on herself! It is the truly amazing people who don't realize how amazing they are. Glad she is out there entertaining us!
OMG!!! I did this excercise once and held all the stretches 1min or longer then I got my splits!!! I was practicing for months.And I am sooo pround,happy and thankful!
I used to dance, but I was never able to do the splits. I was very close though. I'm halfway through my crunches experiment but after that I',mma stretch.
I used to dance and two years after I stopped, I got my splits?? Never had them the first 10 years I danced! Im back now but its so weird i got them once I stopped! I wish you the best in stretching
@@natcappetta569 Thank you! I'm trying to exercise but it feels very weird, cause I had a knee injury and I'm still recovering. So doing things I know I can feels just weirs and scary lol
Yoga with Adriene is my favorite!!! Keep up the good work :)
As a fellow woman who used to be able to do both splits at a whim, no pre stretching.... I feel this pain and fall from glory! Especially the wanting to have them back immediately lol
I'm entirely here for the life-improvement series we're doing on this channel 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I’m currently watching this while laying in bed motionless with back pain, I just want to be able to get up.
What happened 🥺
I recently found your channel and imeadently subscribed your so funny and I haven't stopped watching your videos
The slits had been my party trick until I started personal training and that all went out the window. I'm 40 next June and want to be able to do the splits again by my birthday. Thanks for the inspiration 😊
Your content over the last few months has been amazing, i even tried some of the things you've done, keep it up!
When your a dancer and have stretched every day for the last 2 years and only just have it splits... 😭
I did classical ballet for a year and half and was finally able to do the splits at the end before I quit 😭 I miss being that flexible
I’ve done dance for eight years and I still can’t do the splits.and I am not flexible whatsoever, and I still can’t do a cartwheel ✨😃
It took me about 2 years, and another year beyond that to have them really consistently, like I knew I could just do them with no problem. Everyone goes at a different pace 😁
Not trying to brag but got my splits And my oversplits in three weeks 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃if u need a stretching routine I did then go over to Anna Mcnulty’s channel 😉😉
This is exactly what I needed, thank you for sharing!!! I've had a rough few years and have gained weight. I'm the heaviest I have ever been. I've never been into working out so the idea of exercise is negative to me. BUT I love to stretch! So now, thanks to you, I want to try this and work on my flexibility and then once stretching is part of my routine I can slowly add in some exercise too! For me, this is a great way to begin. Thank you so so so much!!!
that into is just iconic
Why am I obsessed with this channel binged this channel 😍
Omg I'm early, this has never happened in my whole existence!
I love, LOVE the the editing! It's such a unique idea! Love it!
