 the male dancer
written by Mancer at on 09.10. at 15:31:05 - as answer to: There are a couple of ways.... but first.... by Mancer at I have danced when youger, and was in gymnastics. I was away from any type of activity like this for 15 years prior to taking a Yoga amd Dance classes again. I gained about 15degrees of motion in my open straddle split in about a years time, and am still about 10 degrees from really being able to be 180degrees out and roll forward. I gained similarly about20 degrees of motion in my front back splits (both sides) and am currently about 6 inches from the floor. I stretch twice a day, hold each position for 20-30 seconds. I figure I am a year or so out. I almost tore a tendon loose from a bone in my knee being "slighly too agressive" and have since taken a more conservative approach. This expreience is from a person who was capable of doing all 3 splits about 15 years ago. So, I reinforce; dont push it to far. Answers to this message:
