IN STUDIO - ACTIVE FLEXI LEGS - Splits

What experience do I need?

All levels welcome. We provide exercise modifications and progressions cues catered to all levels.

What is included in each class?

Strengthen while you stretch!

This class is designed to simultaneously build strength and flexibility to perform Front Splits, Middle Splits, Pikes and Straddles

Each class starts with an overall joint mobility warm up, followed by a series of exercises targeting hamstrings, hip flexors, quads, lower back and hip joints.

We use different methods in our class to ensure a safety and efficient progress.

Dynamic Stretches: where joints and muscles go through a full range of motion. We use movements, rotations and kicks to help us warm up.

Active Stretches: where you assume a position and then hold it there with no assistance other than using the strength of your agonist muscles. Increases active flexibility and strengthens the agonistic muscles.

Passive Stretches: where we assume a position, like working on our Splits on the floor and part of our Cool Down

Isometric (PNF) Stretches: involving the resistance of muscle groups through isometric contractions (tensing) of the stretched muscles. One of the fastest ways to increased flexibility and to develop strength in the tensed or contract muscles.

Splits training requires dedication and time and we recommend to join a program or be regular with your training. We are here to help you achieve your goal.

What should I wear and what equipment i need?

You required 2 blocks or you can use books for support, a wall and a yoga mat if possible.
