Can you do the splits?

[bluelxthk]

If you can do the splits, how did you learn to do it?

[msmissydc]

I can. I could do so as long as I can remember. Probably the latest when I started ballet as a child. If you train it, you dont loose much flexibility if you keep doing it.

[bluelxthk]

Do you continue practicing your splits? Which kind of training you do to maintain your flexibility? Also, can you do the splits cold?

[msmissydc]

I continue practicing yes. Not specifically splits but flexibility in general. I can do so cold as well. Better to do it slow than. I Dont want to risk anything. I train 4 days a week on average and that involves a lot of flexibility training as well.

[bluelxthk]

Yeah I try to be careful when stretching, and sometimes I do mobility exercises before workout.

Have you done the splits as a party trick to show off to your friends?

[msmissydc]

A few "problems" with that. First friends either know already so it's less of a "trick" or it would never be a fitting situation. Second a lot of guys sexualize flexibility, so why would I risk making it uncomfortable with nearly strangers?
Third a lot of dancers can do so, if you have a hobby and know friends with that hobby it's not a rare thing in your friend group.

I can. It takes consistency and I do 15 minutes of stretching everyday before entering the Splits and it takes time. So be patient if you're looking to achieve them.

[bluelxthk]

Thanks! I do some stretching after my daily workouts and was able to progress my flexibility, but still a long way to go until learning the splits.

Do you need to warmup to be able to do the splits or you can do cold splits out of the blue?

[thegreenyogi]

I can hold them out of the blue but it does feel sore a little afterwards. Also I don't practice the Splits everyday because my muscles are quite sensitive so I practice 3 times a week and it works better for me that way.

Thank you!

Nope, I was pretty flexible but could never do that. No way could I do it today

I learnt with my boyfriend. He would sit on the ground and told me no seggs unless I did the splits. He layed tberr errected up and I’d practice sliding up and down then landling really hard as he requested and then pound me so fast while i was on top of him doing the splits being penetrated.
Other than that I’ve not done the splits. And in that position, it’s the most deep

@serious_miss419 its a tough one but worthy!
