Master The Middle Splits Challenge
The middle splits is much more about strength and alignment than it is about stretching. Learn how to do the Middle Splits the RIGHT way with this 28-day program.
Before you get started there is something I NEED you to do and I promise you won’t regret it!
I need you to set up your phone and film/photograph your current middle split. I want you to do a very quick warm up:
• 30 seconds jog on spot
• Forward and backward leg swings x 10 each leg
• Side to side leg swings x 10 each leg
• Side squat/Side lunge x 8 each side
• Standing wide leg fold x 30 seconds
• Frog pose stretch x 30 seconds
Then move into your current version of a Middle Split and snap a pic!
You will absolutely LOVE looking back on this as your flexibility progresses and will be such an easy way to see how far you’ve come.
Go do it NOW, then come back to explore the rest of the challenge!
