[Peppilii1]

I can do split, but i can't do a needle, why? Please help!

[fitforafeast]

@Peppilii1 needle is harder - you have to lift your leg - with the other one you can press against the ground

[Bubblepeace101]

i call it a 6:00

[fitforafeast4ever]

i cant take up my leg straight and when i put my hands on the ground all my weight is going to my arms and shoulders and i´m afraid of falling over please fit for a feast help me

[fitforafeast]

@fitforafeast4ever try using the wall to help you

[TheTopper03]

Okay i need to know how to do this for my sport, i can pretty much do the forwards splits on the floor, but when i try a needle my leg doesnt go any higher than a 135degree angle, i cant use a wall cuz i end up going into a handstand, my leg just refuses to go up but i know it can. Very frustrating XD Hope you can help and sorry for the paragraph.

[deborahdeboever]

can u tell me how that i can do a tiltt? i can also make a Y, but how do you make a I? i hope you understand it.

[lillyroxify]

can sloane do a needle?

[fitforafeast]

@cutecupcakes0 That is a different move - where you hold your arms out at the side and go down as if going into a needle - but you don't put your hands on the floor

[GymnasticsFriends208]

Kat and sloane i need you help.I can do a needle but how do you get it all the way up.Im about an inch away from the top.

Please replay

[fitforafeast]

@GymnasticsFriends208 Practice against a wall to push your leg up higher

[XxXAveryRose]

Idk about this, its that some people are good at 1 split (like me im good at the side split) next thing you know you try the middle split and you cant do it

Same thing with 2 of my friends, they do the middle split (almost) but they cant do the side split.

[Purelleslovexss]

wait u have to know how to do the SIDE SPLITS TOO?! because i know my left and right splits but then my side splits i cant do it :( tips?

[xXTorixxBlakesXx]

[kittenkitty123]

[fitforafeast]

@kittenkitty123 no

[kittenkitty123]

@fitforafeast ok because i can practiccaly do the splits but i cant get my leg up all the way

[kittenkitty123]

@fitforafeast ok because i can practiccaly do the splits but i cant get my leg up all the way.

[kittenkitty123]

[Lildivas4ever]

[fitforafeast]

@Lildivas4ever try practicing against a wall - pushing your one leg up the wall & straightening the other

[Louisa297]

Wow! is there anything u can't do ? lol i am trying to learn to do the splits but am not very flexible do u have any tips? thanks bye x

[midnite1233]

Daaaang, flexible!

[fitforafeast]

@purelles ask someone to spot you & hold your leg in the right position - that will help you get used to how to hold it - you can also practice against the wall to push your leg up

[fitforafeast]

@purelles no but you need either right or left

[686jaja]

[renesacute1]

I love your videos! I'am a college cheerleader here in the Philippines but your skills are more like on college level. You two are awesome.

[reddiholic]

Can you give an example of leg stretch. So I can perform the needle very elegant.

[psychtherapist2009]

What if you can`t kick your leg up all the way but half ways?should i bend down lower?

[fitforafeast]

@psychtherapist2009 practicing leg stretches & splits helps or you can try against a wall

[blagojevich100]

[Krose3011]

What is it called when you do a needle then you flip your leg over without touching your hands to the floor, but keeping your other leg on the floor then just flip your leg back standing up? I've been trying to find out what it's called, so I can learn how to do it. Do you have a video on that? And if you don't can you make a tutorial on it? Thanks!!

[cutieenter656]

[danceforever1200]

[fitforafeast]

@danceforever1200 Try practicing against a wall to help you hold your leg up

[Littleballerina5]

[SilentKiller346]

[SilentKiller346]

What are you guys (girls sorry...) made of! Rubber?????

[fitforafeast]

@teall101 tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop, acro, lyrical, open & musical theatre

[mizzmist]

also which one of u ownes the account or do u share it coz i share this account with my friend

[ErikaBallerina1]

i use my needle alot in dance? are they in gymnastics? (im just curious)

[fitforafeast]

@ErikaBallerina1 We mainly use needles in dance

[ErikaBallerina1]

@fitforafeast thankyou i think gymnastics are sooooo cool! and you guys are so talented your videos help me a whole lot!!!!

[balletandtap1]

@fitforafeast I have a question. I believe that my legs are pretty flexible and I can already do the splits. But, my back isn't flexible enough to do a needle so what is the best way to stretch my back. <3 you videos!

[fitforafeast]

@balletandtap1 we have some vids on our channel for back stretches - practicing bridges also helps

[balletandtap1]

@fitforafeast Thanks a lot!!! Love your show!!! How do I invite you to be my friend?

[hockeygirl789]

@ErikaBallerina1 in gymnastics we use them for beam routines.

[hockeygirl789]

@ErikaBallerina1 i use them for my beam routines

[hockeygirl789]

@ErikaBallerina1 i use them alot on beam.

[hockeygirl789]

@ErikaBallerina1 we use them in the beam routines quite a bit.

[Chimoltrufiorex]

I can't do the needle but I could do the splits what do u think whats wrong?

[fitforafeast]

@Chimoltrufiorex Needle is harder because you have to lift your leg up - splits you can press against the floor. You will get it with practice :)

[ThePremierCs]

could you do a tutorial on the backwards walkovers from sitting?

[cutiepie2180]

i can do the splits but i cant get my leg high enough or straight enough in a needle. Any tips??

[fitforafeast]

@cutiepie2180 Needles are harder because you have to lift it yourself. Try the exercise against the wall & just practice. You can also get a friend to help push your leg up & hold it there

[lollipops816]

needle is dance.y douse sloane talk and do less?

[patycristina01]

thats so cool!!!!

[patycristina01]

that is amazing KATRINA!!!!!

[fitforafeast]

@1LivGirl Make sure you find your center of balance - practice the leg against the wall stretch & your splits to get it up straighter

[WOWiHeartMusic]

How old is Katrina? She's an amazing gymnast:O!

[fitforafeast]

@WOWiHeartMusic She was 11 here but is 12 now

[Chimoltrufiorex]

I almost could do the needle:D

What do u think whats wrong?

[MUSA390]

isn't that called six o'clock?

[fitforafeast]

@MUSA390 there may be other names for it

[usnj911]

@MUSA390 Were im from we call it a needle

[lollipops816]

do we need to be flexibil with both left and right to acheive this???

[fitforafeast]

@lollipops816 you pretty much have to be able to do a split on the ground to get a full needle

[Ashleyrulesandirok]

is there a video on youtube of facebook of that dnce that sloane does and she has a navy costume on?

[fitforafeast]

@Ashleyrulesandirok No we haven't posted that one. We might post some old ones though

[IcedLipGloss]

Your parents are amazing. You girls seem so well rounded! Not only are you guys talented because your parents signed you up for all these lessons, they will also benefit you very much when you get older. You can easily get into a preforming arts high school! Unlike you guys, I have no talent! I can't do a thing! Not even a split. Thankfully, you're vids will help but I think its too late for me to seriously take gymnastics and dance, I'm already 15.

[DuckyFmStudios66]

@IcedLipGloss

Its never to late ! Im sure if you keep trying you will get it straight way :)

[fearlessbelieber13]

Can you guys do a video on chest stands?

[fitforafeast]

@fearlessbelieber13 We did - it is posted now!

[fearlessbelieber13]

@fitforafeast Thanks!

[xTrueDreamerx]

Hi guys! I absolutely love your videos! :D

Do you think you could make a turorial on an illusion turn? :)

[Shamankpopshane]

ty~i will try this~this vid really help a lot

[xxJustinBieberxx101]

can u do a video on good flexibilty tricks, cuz i dont have very good flexibility :(

[supdawgs6498]

How do u do splits in one day? There's always gotta be a way.

[Shamankpopshane]

@supdawgs6498 i learn my split in 2 month~i stretch everyday~



[DareToLivexo]

@supdawgs6498 I think u have to be all day with no stopping trying... no haha Really, I think there's no way bcause u have to force urself sooo much, but I don't know a lot 'bout this

[xoNickJisaCutieox]

@supdawgs6498 yeah with a price...tear your muscles

[popx598]

do u have to be able to do the splits?

[TheFREAKSx3]

hey.. i have the flexibility to do that but i dont have the strength to put it all the way up there.. any tips?

[fitforafeast]

@TheFREAKSx3 try them against the wall so you can push on the wall to help you keep your leg up.

[XxMidnightBubblesxX]

are you guys sisters???

[fitforafeast]

@XxMidnightBubblesxX no- just friends

[Tieganrox2468]

are u ment to bend ur arms when u do it?

[DogGirlDee]

hahaha my hips would probably hit the wall when doing the wall stretch :)

[loveandmusic2011]

superb

[98Bethh]

Hey do you have to have a really strong back leg in order to hold it up cos mine just falls down :L thanks :)

[cutiehmn]

you girls are so talented and beautiful ! let me tell you,  im 15 and on the highschool dance team and i still cant do this

!

[sarleelweith]

I'd just like to point out that a needle is also referred to as a 6 o'clock. I know it's kinda random but I didn't know what the video was about in reading the title. That's just how I learned it. I know it doesn't really matter but in my opinion I find it kind of interesting to find out alternate names for steps.

[Elizabeth10101998]

You are soo good <3

[xxxMariahilyxxx]

What stretches can we do to get our legs to be able to do that?

[fitforafeast]

@xxxMariahilyxxx Try the stretches in our 3 videos on the splits

[popx598]

@fitforafeast would you say a needle is hard for a beginner?

[fitforafeast]

@popx598 It is harder than the splits because you have to lift & hold the leg in the air. You need to work on your splits first & then you can practice these - & try the stretches against the wall

[rozanne7106]

If we dont know how to do a split, can we do a needle ?

[fitforafeast]

@rozanne7106 You can do a leg lift but probably won't be able to get it up high enough to be a needle

[CoolSabri]

thank u for this very nice video !! it helps me very much !! youre really good at gymnastics,dancing and other things you do !!

thumbs up !!

xoxo*

[danceluver03]

when you showed those clips of those girls dancing...were those girls one of u two or both? or were they just random clips you found that worked?

[fitforafeast]

@danceluver03 That is us at dance competitions

[islandergurl13]

ur really good (=

[SPECTACULAR1340]

i could do it but my leg that's on the ground hurts

[fitforafeast]

@SPECTACULAR1340 Make sure you are warmed up & stretched before you try it -

[iluvdancegym]

i can do the splits, but i cant do a needle. my leg won't go up. any tips?

[fitforafeast]

@iluvdancegym Try to get someone to help lift your leg or try balancing it against a wall or couch

[tncheek8]

@iluvdancegym When you're in the needle, pull your hands right by your feet and make sure you're looking at your knee. It helps to put your nose to your knee, that will pull your leg up higher.

[isabel91210]

no way i can do that i used to know how to do the splits but now i cant

[disneyfangirl96]

stretch*****

[disneyfangirl96]

hi, how long does it take to get a perfect needle if u stitch everyday

[fitforafeast]

@disneyfangirl96 It depends how flexible you are when you start - if you already have your splits you should get it in a few weeks with practice

[cele657]

OMG WHAT IS UP WITH THAT BABY THINGIE??

[fitforafeast]

@cele657 That is from one of katrina's dances called triplets

[cele657]

i c ty :)

[Arimandee]

do you need to be able to do the split inorder to do ths move

[fitforafeast]

@Arimandee You need it to get a good straight needle & not just a leg lift

[carimonkey]

@fitforafeast when i do my needle i always kick my back leg up any tips

plez oh plez respond. thanks

[fitforafeast]

@carimonkey Not sure what you mean by that? Do you mean pop your supporting heel?

[carimonkey]

@fitforafeast yes yes yes. how do i stop that????
