When stretching to become more flexible in the splits, is it better to stretch every day or every other day?

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:24:33 +0000

just curious, i know that for building muscle its best (at least to my knowledge) to wait a day in between to give the muscles a chance to repair. so i was just curious as to what you think is better. im currently stretching to get my left, right, and middle splits! (:

Everyday. Remember to warm up before you do stretching though!

If you want to get your splits quicker,stretch everyday for an hour. If you stretch every other day,you may not get your splits as quick. It all depends on time,patience and how hard you are working to get your splits! good luck

When stretching for the splits, how much should you feel it during the stretch?

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 14:57:36 +0000

Should it be like mild discomfort, slight pain, really hurting…Just how much should it hurt?
Thanks~

Normally, slight pain. You want to be stretching enough so that you’re actually improving your flexibility, but you also don’t want to be stretching to the point of over-stretching. If you are severely uncomfortable or in great pain, tone it down a bit. It’s all about finding a good balance!
Good Luck!
