@phia.liz: 1. Always warm up first – Light cardio or dynamic stretches before deep stretching helps prevent injury and makes your muscles more pliable. 2. Hold your stretches – Aim for 30 to 60 seconds per stretch to give your muscles time to lengthen. Don’t rush the process! 3. Be consistent – Stretch every day or at least 4–5 times a week. Progress comes from consistency, not intensity. 4. Target key muscle groups – Focus on your hamstrings, hip flexors, and inner thighs to open up your hips and lengthen your legs. 5. Incorporate active flexibility – Mix in leg lifts and strength-based stretches to improve control and balance in your splits. 💗 Save this & tag a friend working on their splits too!
