What is it about

Can you remember when you last did a split? If your answer is “never” or “as a child”, don’t worry as you’re not alone in that.

Whilst impressive, splits are often challenging and often painful; it is indeed one of the most demanding one can learn. 

It’s thus important to train for it, and there are two ‘starter’ types to learn before progressing further – front split and side (known also as straddle) split. It’s also a must to stretch and strengthen your hip flexors, adductors, hamstring, glutes and groin muscles. This, alongside warming up your body, will assist in helping you achieve the splits.
