A tip from a former dancer: try what ballerinas call “turning out.” Basically you rotate your legs from your hips so your toes will point outward instead of forward. I don’t know if it would help you get further down but it may help you keep your balance.

Yay, so glad you’re sticking to it! I’m hoping we get a little crew going, and can all post our triumphant Splits Pics at the end of the year! =D

And thanks for the link/video – seems like a great help. ♥

Awesome *high five* you’ll be down there well before then end of the year I reckon! I love that you’re keeping a photographic record. I’m still going at it, I have super flexi hips but a bizarrely tight right hamstring which needs a lot of work so concentrating on getting that loosened. The pigeon yoga pose has been a useful one, as is this vid http://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Yoga-Poses-Doing-Splits-31475537 xx

I just started doing the side splits (is that what they’re called? one leg forward, one leg back) last night, and I’m going ot start doing it every day, just like you said here. Bouncing to flex and then switching sides. I think this will really help my “training”!

I haven’t been doing too much stretching, besides just dropping into the splits whenever I can. Sometimes I do my computer work while sitting on the floor with my legs in an opening stretch, and just last night I learned some good hip openers. But mostly just the daily Split!
