If you want to get your splits then this is the perfect routine for you,

we will be doing the most effective stretches to get your front splits fast

so make sure to like this video subscribe and let's get started

we are going to start by doing 10 small kicks back and forth to warm up your legs

as you can see i will be showing beginner modifications on the left side throughout

this video so no matter how flexible you currently are you can follow along

after we have completed the stretches i'll share my top method to get your splits fast

when paired with this stretch routine so make sure to stick around until the end for that

once you have completed the 10 kick switch sides to repeat them on the other leg

now place your feet a bit further than shoulder width apart and reach down towards one ankle

once you are reaching as low as you can try to let

your head sink as close to the ground as it can this is great for improving

your hamstring flexibility which is essential for getting your full splits

in the same position reach to the center

who you really

and for our final stretch in this position reach to your other ankle

for the next stretch rotate your feet so that they're both facing

your torso then we are going to go down into a sleep of a lunge as you can do 10 times

now hold the lunge and rotate your legs in a circular motion

now switch the direction that you're circling your legs

still staying in a deep lunge lift up your arms to let your

hips sink as close to the ground as they can

now bend in the back leg of your lunge to feel a stretch in your back thigh

now bend the back leg and straighten out the front one to go into a backwards lunge in this stretch

flex your front foot and reach over top of the front leg until you feel a good stretch in your hamstring

in this sit back over top of your bent leg while still reaching forward

to feel an even deeper stretch in your hamstring

we are now going to repeat the stretches we just did starting with the 10 lunges

up and down even if you're only trying to get your splits on

one side it is still so important to stretch the other side as well

we are now going to do the lunge circles

switch the direction that you're circling in your lunge

now lower your legs as much as you can in the lunge and lift up your arms

you can now bend in the back leg

we are now going to go into the backwards lunge

you can now sit back in your backwards lunge for a deeper hamstring stretch

bent in front of you and then place one ankle over top of your knee once you are sitting

like this push your torso as close to your legs as you can to stretch your hip

now repeat that same stretch with the other leg on top

for the next stretch you will need to lay on your back

once you are on your back pull one leg as close to your chest as you can

with it bent then try to straighten your leg as much as you can

and if you can get it fully straight try to pull it towards your chest

now we are going to lift up the other leg

you can now lower your leg and then go back into a seated position this time with your

legs straight out in front of you once you are sitting like this reach as far forward as you can

you can now sit back up and then grab some pillows or anything similar to do

my favorite method for getting the splits fast to do this method use as many pillows as it takes to

go all the way down in your split then we are going to hold it there for 30 seconds

if you're a beginner you might need to use a lot of pillows to start but every day that you

do this routine i want you to try to remove a pillow until you can do the splits all the way

down it's totally fine if you need to use the same amount of pillows for a few days

as long as you are staying consistent with this routine and gradually lowering

the amount of pillows you will eventually have your splits all the way down to the ground for

best results i recommend doing this routine daily or at least three to five times a week
