QUICKIE Middle Splits & Straddle Pancake Routine (20-30 Min)
Who this routine is for:
By popular demand - this is a shorter splits training routine great for students who don’t have a whole hour to dedicate to stretching.
Progressions of drills in this routine are offered for all levels, so whether you’re a super beginner and have a super narrow “pizza slice” of a straddle, or have been working on your middle splits for ages and are getting close to flat, there are versions of drills that can challenge you at your level!
What you get:
THIS IS NOT A FOLLOW-ALONG VIDEO like the majority of my other recordings. Instead, this is a written routine that includes detailed how-to videos for each drill, as well as educational content to help you maximize your progress in your splits-training journey.
This PDF includes:
Flexibility training best practices
How to modify the drills if experiencing pain
How to test to see if you have nerve tension that will impact your middle splits & straddle pancake training (and how to adjust accordingly)
How to adjust the drills to be the most effective for your hip anatomy
Suggestions for training frequency
A program of drills with how-to videos explaining proper form, what sensations to look for, what muscles to engage (if needed), and how to modify to adjust the difficulty/intensity for each drill. The “default” routine is meant to fit a 20-minute training session
Additional recommended drills (along with how-to videos) for another 10 minutes of training for students who want to extend their practice to a 30-minute session
A printable all-on-one-page list of drills for quick reference
Heads up: Because each of the how-to videos is filmed as an educational video with comments on form, technique, and modifications - and not as a “follow along with me” style video, the videos will likely take longer to watch than to actually execute the exercise. So plan on your first run-through of this routine to take longer than 20 minutes because you’ll likely be watching the videos in their entirety which will take a bit longer (and then just skimming through them for reminders in the future).
Recommended props:
Yoga mat (knee padding is your friend!)
Some kind of long strap - can be stretchy or stiff
2 yoga blocks
A chair or low bench (very helpful for folks with tight hips)
