Women doing the splits

Splits + Photos

I have been doing splits stretching since March 2022. I do my leg stretches  at least 4 times per week. Often is better, less likely to cause injury by over stretching.

One time I overstretched and pulled both my inner thigh muscles, on both legs. There were some interesting walking styles for a few weeks after. Very ouchie!

I didn’t give up and now I have reached my goal.
