Stretching alone is very unlikely to get you to achieve the middle splits. The muscles of our hips need STRENGTH for your body to feel supported and safe to access this range of motion. Here's 4 hip mobility exercises that build strength AND flexibility at the same time to help you break through this barrier and get the splits!

    dancer here. strengthening your muscles is important, but it's physically impossible to get your splits without stretching. the splits themselves are a stretch. while flexibility does need to be supported by strength, strengthening exercises alone won't get you your splits.

    Dancer here, I definitely got my splits by just stretching. Just make sure you push yourself. Consistency is key
  • yes it will . Stretching is the only thing that will get you middle splits ! Retired gymnast here .

    If you do all this and still can't get a middle split, don't worry. The shape of your pelvis might not allow you to reach that full split. But keep doing these exercises because the strength and mobility it'll bring you are worth a ton, even if you won't get the glory
  • Love it. You have to strengthen the muscles of the inner thigh and groin area to encourage them to release. I experienced this phenomenon after beginning an intensive leg and glute routine. I THOUGHT that all the extra work on my legs and glutes would ruin all the work I had done to work on flexibility, but it actually decreased tightness and pain during stretches. I could go deeper!
  • @Alicia.Barreto
    Agree! It’s not just static stretching. Its mobility and dynamic stretching too!

    I think she just made the caption about being anti-stretching because she knew that would get more people to click and watch her short video. She knows what she's doing both in the stretches and the marketing of said stretches.
  • I watch these at night and think, I'm gonna do them in the morning. Then I forget lol. But this will stick one day
  • These are great moves to combine with the basic and more obvious stretching. Strengthening and stretching together is a power move. Thanks for the video!
  • @natashab5026
    Can you make a follow along routine to get your middle splits please?
  • @biancalaviano5311
    Can you make a follow along routine to follow for the middle splits?!!! That would be SO helpful!
  • Literally just want to be able to do the splits so I can tell people I can do the splits and then do a split and they go 😮! That’s why. That’s the reason.
  • @meteor3521
    Who's gonna tell her this is still stretching 💀
  • @dbzgtvaf
    Your videos have been super helpful to me. I'm a pretty muscle bound dude. And I've experienced a lot of tightness in my muscles due to years of toxic stress. Your videos have had a positive impact on me. Thank you very much! You are deserving of all your success!

  • @Night_Skinned
    Watching this caused me to dislocate both hips in 7 different languages 😅. You go girl!
