Something new...

So far so good. I haven't embarrassed myself yet, as there are plenty of amazing, and amazingly flexible people here. I have much to learn, and am grateful for all the advice i have received thus far. The wall splits idea sounds like a good one, and is something that i have been actively working on the last week. I secretly hope that i can maintain this well into the new year, and reach the goal i have set a few weeks ago when i proclaimed middlesplits my goal for 2008. I have also added back

i read. im not a tv kinda gal
yea it is. but never forget those seem so simple stretch! you know the ones they make you do if your on a swim team. also its better to be warm than cold when stretching

yea i can get it to my knee.
uhm no incantation sorry hate to burst your bubble
start with over splits(i know it sounds odd cause its not good for you but it pays off) start with over splits SLOWLY i mean not pulling muscles slowly lower yourself down hold it for 10 seconds and then sit down and put your legs together and strech to your toes and repeat it about 5 times. and then do it normally and you will find you are a lot lower

it took me about a month to be able to do middle splits flat comfortably. so it depends on the person i supose

No not fussy. never have been. Only fuss i have is if the back leg is at 90 degrees. They can be high as they want well..within reason you know. But the back leg is a pet peve
yea i have 1 foot over splits on middle

Time does fly!
i normally do some splits(of course stretching for splits to). Then over splits (my new goal is 2 feet on all of them) and then some walkovers a few back bends
then i normaly bend onto my elbows from a backbend and straighten my legs and strech that way
(when im done i do an equal amount of stretch forward to so i dont damage anything)

Fronts not as good as back. but still well above average.
Then again more than half the world is a couch potato..and thats sad.
And yea my mom always took me along with a friend to her dance class (i would do the stuff on the side for fun cause it gets boring)and her teacher said i could make it in cirque du soleil But i dont want to. and i didnt. so i knew before.

Its true.
Owch thats hard...uhmm...ill chose sumthing.
Anything with my back. When i stretch my back it feels good and i am very flexible naturally there no stretching before. First time i did a back bend i found i could get my head to my knees. so thats kind of how i learned that it surprised me

I never did gymnastics. I never did ballet. I never did anything. i just stretched with friends when they came over because one of them was a competitive dancer. and i became more and more flexible. and now i can do a ton of things. so i guess it just came around?
