Stretches for Splits

Have you been trying to get your splits but just can't quite get to the floor? Do you feel like your stretch routine could use a little facelift?

Ballet dancers have a secret tool when it comes to flexibility: the barre. Using a ballet barre for stretching can really help improve your flexibility. Just be careful not to put too much weight on the barre.

Try the following stretches with the help of a barre. Be careful not to push yourself too far too soon. Take your time and really feel each stretch. By performing these stretches a few times each wee, you should have your splits before you know it.
