But the thing is, I can't do anything. I've trained and stretched every day for hours to get my splits, for 10 months, I'm still not down, I've tried everything.
I can't do a forwards of backward walkover, and I literally cannot straighten my arms in bridge. Not to mention my hand-eye co-ordination, dance and other flexibility.
So how can I improve? Any stretches? I can't get anyone to help me, everyone's too busy, including my family. So please help:)
Also, don't tell me I'm not made for it or anything like that, because I know, and I don't care.
get a coach - he/she would be more than happy to help!!
It will hurt but challenge yourself. Every time a commercial comes on do the split until the commercial time is over and your tv show comes back on. That helps a ton. Just doing it everyday and stretch the inner thigh muscles. Do butterfly and push your legs down to the floor. And just keep doing the split. Also try and hold your hands of the ground for as long as you can. good luck!
You're just a beginner, so you will have plenty of time to get it down if you keep on stretching. Trust me... When I first started lacrosse I was TERRIBLE beyond belief! Now it's my 3rd year and I'm on the best team their is! It just takes time, effort, dedication! And BTW if you don't do this already, try the pancake or butterfly stretch! The pancake stretch is where you put your legs out as far as possible and try to get you're stomach to the floor. And I'm pretty sure you know what the butterfly stretch is but if you don't just look it up. (: GOOD LUCK!
