Active flexibility: Front and middle splits

In this flexibility course, which focuses on the legs, we will be working on active flexibility. Be prepared to work your leg and glute muscles! We will start with a warm-up consisting of two exercises. Next, we do some leg extensions (my favourite!) and leg kicks on the floor, both front and side. Afterwards, we stretch the hip flexors, followed by two conditioning exercises for the glutes, then the final pull/push exercises for the splits, before holding each front split for one and a half minutes. The final part of the class focuses on the middle split. We start in the frog position for hip activation, followed by pull/push exercises and then hold for one minute and thirty seconds. You will need a yoga mat, blocks, a belt or an elastic band, and water.
