Stretches to work on to do a front split, part one

Are you gymnasts and dancers struggling on your front splits? Here are the stretches you must work on every day in order to get them.

Stretch 1. (Picture one) Sit on your knees. Pick your perfect leg. Then, keep that perfect leg in your sitting on knees position. Take your other leg and put it backward. If you want to learn the split fast, do this for more than a minute.

Stretch 2. (Picture two.) With your same bad leg, push it back in the same position you were in in stretch 1. With your good leg, bend it at a 90 degree angle and push forward so it looks like the picture. Bond this for more then a minute.

Stretch 3. (Picture three) This time, make your bad leg in the position your good leg was in in stretch 2, and your good leg in the bad leg position. Take your arms and reach forward as far as you can. This may hurt, so hold this for as long as you possibly can!

Go to part 2 for more stretches!
