How to get your splits. When I first started pole dancing four years ago, I couldn’t do the splits.
Over the four years I tried everything in vain to try and force my way into the splits – even buying one of those expensive martial arts machines. Instead of a split I ended up with a chronic sore knee that hurt unbearably at night. I’ve learned over time that the best way to stretch for the splits is to minimise the amount of pain and discomfort and choose stretches that 1) stretch all parts of the leg, not just the inner thighs and 2) feel relaxing for the body.
Below are the set of stretches I came up with which helped me achieve a reasonably good left AND right split within about 2 months. I say “reasonably” because some purists will want to rightly argue that a proper split is one where both hips are square – but let’s face it – even getting down to the ground is a huge achievement in itself and will allow you to incorporate many of the more demanding moves in pole which require a nice line.
