“How to do splits in 3 months”
Fact:
The ability to do a split requires a good level of flexibility.
It requires that you are not “loosey-goosy”, but rather,
“flexible” in the:
-hips
-hamstrings
-groin muscles
So…
If you want to achieve the splits in 3 months,
here are some steps you can take:
1. Stretch every day: Consistency is key when it comes to flexibility.
Make it a habit to stretch every day. If possible–twice a day, and allow
yourself to to increase your flexibility gradually. Focus on stretching the
muscles in your legs, including your hip flexors, hamstrings,
and quadriceps.
2. Incorporate dynamic stretches: Dynamic stretching involves
moving your body through a range of motion, which can help
warm up your muscles and prepare them for deeper stretches.
Some dynamic stretches–such as leg swings and walking
lunges—work those into your routine.
3. Practice active stretching: Active stretching involves contracting
the muscles you are stretching, which can help improve their flexibility.
(For example–you can try holding a lunge position while
squeezing your glutes and pushing your hips forward.)
4. Use props: Props such as yoga blocks or straps can help you get deeper
into stretches and support your body while you work on increasing your
flexibility. You can even use a chair or stool to prop up you leg and
deepen the stretch.
(Note—A quick search on Youtube of “Shaolin Monks” using
exercise and stretching props will really give you IDEAS.)
5. Be patient: Yeah obviously—but seriously–flexibility takes time and
consistency to develop. Don’t push yourself too hard too soon, as this
can lead to injury. Instead, focus on gradual progress and pay attention
to your body’s limits.
6. Be kind to yourself: Consider what point you are starting out from.
Are you stiff as a board, or already relatively flexible? This will effect the
“3 month” time frame. It can lengthen it or even shorten it. So truly be
aware of your limits and true starting point.
Be reasonable—with yourself.
Lastly—use your brain—Maybe even look at or think about
seeking professional guidance.
And…
If you have any pre-existing injuries, it’s a good idea to consult with a
fitness professional or physical therapist to ensure that you’re
stretching safely and effectively.
And with that…
Good luck and enjoy the journey!
