Stretching For The Splits

[ezzbuzz]

that room is biig :o

[bladesaint21]

Nice variations and tips. I've been stretching for years and have heard of contraction/relaxion methods before but I've never heard your method of contracting the "Opposing" muscle groups before. I heard contracting and releasing the target group youre aiming for. I'll give youre method a try..thanks! I'm a kungfu guy and not a pole dancer *LOL*

[kirwill]

Great video! Love all the great stretching exercises and positions. Nice legs! Love the grey legwarmers too!

[girly02100]

you pole dance??!

[Miranda082]

Hey, thanks for the tips! What kind of pole is that? X pole? is it a perm or removable?

[spartanhunters2]

You've got a great body!!! love the sexy nerd look.

[lolo331973]

O my, I like this girl. does someone has her email?

[ktSushi510]

we do the third stretch in cheerleading.

its good.

[lesleyluvswestonwild]

u are great but wat r u a pole striper

[ezoen]

TY TY TY, after 6 mins i could finally touch my toes,

flexing while your stretched helped me out a lot

[ezoen]

IS it ok to stretch for like 6 hours

[Sanchara]

yes and no,

hold each stretch for about two minuites. no more than three. but there are a huge varity of stretches that you can do. Just make sure that if you plan on stretching for a long time that you have the room nice and warm and you get up and jump around a bit every once in a while to keep the blood flowing (a.k.a keeping your muscles warm)

[Kendall16Dancer]

love the stripper pole in the back XD lol

[ninamor1982]

Aiming To Achieve The Very Last One You Do... Will Probably Fail Miserably!

But Thanks For This!

[flabslap]

these are good stretches I've been taking Tae Kwondo classes for about 4 years and its still a shame that I can't get very flexible but if I keep practicing this and some other peoples videos along with this I'm sure I'll be able to get at least a LITTLe more flexible lol

[tinytiml]

Thanks for the tips!

[anhieboi]

you're cute..

[thisnameinlights]

I can't wait to try this! I love your hair :)

[sweetheart9060]

very helpful!!!!!!

[lovergaljt]

STRIP POLE!

HEHE

good warm ups

[IwantOutt]

omg i can touch my toes now!! thats a huge deal for me !

[sinbabylk]

Thanks, this vid is meant for people new to stretching so I kept it simple. I was aware of the change of difficulty for all the moves, but not not the names so thanks :)

[Rominalicious]

A STRIP POLE! i always wanted one lols

[sinbabylk]

You can buy a pole from me on my Studio Veena site.

[keepdareal]

i like the leg warmers

[CharlyBabe12]

thank you so much for this video... it really helped me =)

[0dour]

omg thats cool thanks girl

[vanillahoney47]

is she a stripper!!!

[jonmahoney04]

Thanks for reminding us to breathe. That really helps.

[dnycp]

she isnt wearing socks idiot!!

[pro12player]

I'm an athlete and i just stumbled on this video. I need to get more flexible cause i keep pulling my muscles. Im a footballer that's soccer to americans.but yeah.

[polepleasing]

just the kind of video i was looking for! Thanku for the information, look forward to ur next vid :o)

[malikishot]

You dont seem like a pole dancer, you seem like a geeky girl whos reading books.

[emhie25]

Jeeez! What's with the insults! Who says you gotta look like a whore to be a poledancer. Poledance is an art and a aport, and anyone can do it. Maybe you just don't know the difference... she's a pole DANCER, not a porn star.

[magicrincevent]

hi,

i'm a man and i'm ... quite flexible (i do all you do without warm-up)

I search exercises to try big oversplits or overbend. Do you know exercises like that?

thanks.

[nix231]

helpfull and sweet!

[feedyouranger]

Thank you!

[ibecutie2]

ty this helps a bunch!

[livozzz]

geat geat video i love it

[lotusflower007]

This is totally Stripper Yoga, seriously you have help a little light bulb pop on above me head, to use yoga in conjunction with my dance pole. Thanks for showing how to stretch and breeze.

[Lucky9653]

Hi Sweetie! I like you. Let's talk.

[junkalunk]

thank you!

[StyleSessions]

thankyou :)

from um Toby :(

[JM2X4]

ohh you look so sweet!

great legs also!

[Firaelle]

Hey u sound lyke a nerd no affense.lol

[sweetlyswank]

You'd get a better stretch at 5:54 if you put the front leg so that the bent knee makes a 90 degree angle, and you square your hips (not just the shoulders are supposed to face forward, but the hips as well)

[sinbabylk]

Yes thats true in general you want your hips square. But in this move for some people (myself included) if your hips are perfectly squared then the move can result in lower back pain. As long as your leg is directly behind you and the hips are facing forward you'll still get a very good stretch.

[Queenishtar777]

Very clear, friendly and professional instruction. Thank you. x

[shaboingmaster]

Morning sick? Should I say congratulations?

Thats what us gentlemen are for, to remind you you are way better than you think. Works the other way too.

[sinbabylk]

Yep. Thanks

[shaboingmaster]

You are amazing. Your presentation was very personable, clear, informative, and professional. You have a definitive class and elegance that make you a true pleasure to watch. Sorry I have to add you are outstandingly beautiful. I can go on but I am a gentleman and will stop there.

One small tip is to start by introducing yourself.

[sinbabylk]

Thanks for you kind words. Funny...I didn't feel beautiful. I had morning sickness in this vid I was trying not to look to green:) This was originally made just for some friends that had questions but I decided to make it a public vid.

[jannybugalicious]

Really good video! I thought stretching was just stretching but there is a lot more to the splits than I assumed. GREAT INFO!

[sinbabylk]

Thanks

[kawamorikanayo]

Wow this is so informational! I hope you do more tutorials in the future!! ^^

[dansdansetanz]

this is a great video, you explain it very well, tnx for charing the info!

[Poledancefan]

Well, the info about squeezing the opposing group was new to me. I don't stretch much at all in the winter cuz treadmill doesn't really require too much flexibility. But it's Spring now, my second day on the bike and already that darn left knee is hurting again. So I will try to put some of your tips to use (along with the Glucosamine/Chondroitin!) before hitting the bike path tomorrow. Thank you for the instructional video--it was like a professional DVD!

[icyelle]

I learned those stretches in P.E class freshmen year of high school.

Perfect for people who never stretch before. You are very flexible and talented. would have been nice to see some pole dancing in the end

[WannaBeLink]

so uh..

pole dancing eh? =D!!!

[BabyBabyCat]

Awesome video, you are so cool & I dig your glasses!!

[sinbabylk]

Yes

[sinbabylk]

Static. No bouncing or forceful repetitive stretching.

[BaybehhGeorgie]
