I just tried the leg stretcher for the first time. I had some discomfort in my right leg just above the inside of my knee. I’m hoping to do another stretching session tonight for other fifteen minutes.

How I did it: Warm up before and after my workout routine.I would slowly work each leg into a full stretch while I was on the floor concentrating on each muscle that is involved. I recommend everyone to take your time stretching and be patient with the goal and soon you will be able to do a split too! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Just be patient. Stretch every day, and do other things while stretching, to stop you from getting bored. When you get your split, you'll be so proud of yourself! Read how I did it…
How I did it: i just pushed myself lodes but dont push your self to much because you could damage your leg and i v been doing it since i was 5 6 Read how I did it…
How I did it: it takes lots of practice and its painful if u have patience u can do it too i did it at the age of 19 its easer when u are younger i think but dont think that u r too old for this keep practicing Read how I did it…

I borrowed a leg stretcher from a friend. Hopefully this will aid in my progress.
I’ve tried to do this with months of stretching before…hopefully this will be the time it works

Well, I haven’t been very active in achieving this goal, but now that summer is almost here I will have more time to devote to it. I plan on making this a very productive summer, so I will try to stretch every day to be able to do a split.
Cassiopeia I keep making these to-do lists, but nothing gets crossed out xoxo
the split is coming along nicely :) almost killed myself trying today though lol better pull back a little :p
I’m been slacking on this goal. Since my bunion surgery I have been making excuses for why I have not been stretching.

Well… I started stretching :) I stretched while doing homework and my legs now feel funny :) I hope this means that split is closer!
I started stretching last night for about 15 minutes- I used to be able to do a perfect right split and hope that I can get it down quickly because Im rather impatient. As soon as I get the split down Im going to learn a “split trick” I saw on tv. It looked amazing If anyone has seen for teh love of Ray J it was the stretch and split thing chardonnay taught to fiesty = ) yes Im a nerd but thought it was amazing lol
I’m seeing a small difference. My hamstrings are very tight. I start my stretches by extending my legs straight out and trying to touch my head to my knees. Next, I use a chair and lean my forearms on the seat and slide my feet out to the sides.

I was reading some of the entries and noticed that some people stretched for around 30 minutes. I wonder if I would then be in the minority since I stretch for about 10 minutes. It works just fine for me though and I still feel like I’m making way.
Just out of curiosity, I think I’ll try 30 minutes tonight and see what it does.
Best of luck to everyone reaching for this goal! :)
