Middle splits?

[Lisa89125]

Hi everyone, I've been trying to get my middle splits for over a year now. I get stuck about 90% of the way into the middle splits.

Will there be enough changes in my body on HRT that eventually I can achieve getting my middle splits or am I just too late to the game at 29? I am a bit frustrated at not being able to get all the way into the middle splits.

I can't say it's painful but not comfortable stretching myself in ways I haven't in so many years. Yet I haven't completely lost my flexibility from childhood either.

Lisa.

Interesting. I may try it. I am 54 yr old. Usually I do stretching like the half squat pose before running outdoors. I may also practice the lotus position, but I never learned yoga. Yes. Flexibility is critical in maintaining a healthy backbone.

It made me smile reading this!! Splits front or side is not hormone related, it is something you have to work at and make sure your body is warm, during training we would wear leg warmers and sweat pants to keep our legs warm but you must warm up. Naturally loose is another term, i have always been naturally loose and at ballet school there was only a very small handful of us that were naturally loose, the down side was lack of control. I was always paired up with another girl our legs would be banneded and we would drop into side splits, again this was fully supervised usually by two teachers
