[Julie64460]

Tell me please what is the music?

[Yprkia]

@Julie64460 The music is composed by me, it's my piano composition

um well hips arent square at all.....even if u dont go as low make sure ur hips stay square!

[ojiaje]

i can do all of this

[Yprkia]

so do thousands of people all over the world

[k9henrydog]

I like these wall assists!!! I can see they would be very helpful. this is a modified yoga position, the pidgeon, or little bird......which i always hit a roadblock with.......I am inspired to try something new!!! best wishes

[Yprkia]

Thank you very much :)

[qtee45]

very good. so much better! =)

[Yprkia]

thank you, I have even a newer video than this, with better splits. they improve slowly but at least they improve! :)

[Yprkia]

the newer one is also the video response to this one.

[Gymlover]

try to pay attention to the little details as well like pointed feet a stretched back leg and very important square hips!

Keep up the good work :)

[mylilhowdy]

are those the only stretches u do?! if not please tell me the ones u do!!

[Yprkia]

no, of course not, these are just the splits after i am warmed up for about 40 minutes with a lot of exercises and after having done a lot of individual muscle stretching. There are many of them that I do, but it is really hard to describe here in words...

[mylilhowdy]

oh! haha!

[mari18jo]

you have to strech your left leg!! :)

[caglacaglacagla]

video doğumgünümde çekilmiş ^^ ve gerçekten en son konuştuğumuzdan beri bile çok çok ilerlmişsiniz ! ben en çok çalıştığım zamanlarda bile ayaklarımı öööyle açıp o kadar uzun süre rahatça duramıyordum. gerçi ben teknikleri bilmiyorum belki ondandır ama... kısacası tebrikler yani hem iş hem ev hem çok çalışma gerektirecek bir spor yapmak ciddi azim gerektirir... :) başarılarınızın devamıınıı diliyoruum :)

[Yprkia]

çok sağol canım hem buzda hem esneklik konusunda aynen devam ediyorum ve ilerlediğim için mutluyum, şu anda bu videodakinden de daha iyi hale geldi ama tabi daha çalışılacak çoook şey var :) dersler iyidir umarım. kendine iyi bak!

[revengeissweeterxx]

your left split looks a little like a center split.

[bublmidget]

You can do that with only stretching once a week!? Yes, please give me your advice!!! I want to be able to do good spirals on the ice.

[Yprkia]

Yes but it took me 2 years. My advice is: get a very good coach/trainer for strength and stretching because that's what I did. But, despite my flexibility my spirals suck on the ice so, working on the spirals is a different story than doing the splits...

Comment by s0671253:

I'm jelaous of your splits, too;-)After almost a year of stretching(end of January 09 will be a full year)I can almost do my left splits.I've problem though and you might be able to help me:I have x-legs and therefore I can sit on my left split without my right thigh touching the floor.I can't straighten the back leg because it has a'natural'bend.Moreover my hips aren't flexible enough.I'll probably do some stretching tonight so I might post a vid for you to see what I mean

[lbvedj]

you're getting much better... you progress is visible. When you started training, how did your coach stretch u, train you? Any advice?

[shaolindude1]

nice legs!

[samanflexible]

nice split!

[belles0n]

I'm jealous of your splits @_@...sniff sniff

[Yprkia]

oh come on, dont be, i paid a heavy price for them mentally, physically and financially :) if you want any tips / exercises for splits just send a message to me, it may help

[stretchdavid]

Heavy price mentally and physically? What happened?

[Yprkia]

nothing happened, I meant the whole process. Maybe I should have written "I have paid" instead of "I paid"...The prices are, mentally: all the worries, expectations and stress, physically: injuries, pain, aches...I had to pay (and still do) these heavy prices to achieve good results...Still have a long way to go...

[stretchdavid]

glad to hear that - i was getting a bit woried... Well the pain is part of it I guess, no pain no gain. Great progress anyway - well done!

[Maxx65]

Well beside the color of clothing I think You made a great vid...*wink*

xoxo-

[Yprkia]

thanks :D

[stretchdavid]

I agree this is a great video 5*! What is wrong with the colour of the clothing? I like it

[Yprkia]

Thanks, for me nothing's wrong with the colors.i love my tights and striped sweater. i just wish i had purple or pink legwarmers, my favourite colors :)

[dewey44]

You are to be commended for starting such a difficult undertaking at the age of 26. Doing a full split is very hard to do at any age, and to keep practicing for two years is praisworthy indeed. Keep it up.

[Yprkia]

thank you. i still have a long way to go. :)

[cowm00n]

Really good work! Also awesome shirt *and* leg warmer+sock combo, by the way.

[Yprkia]

thank you and i agree with you about the clothing. I wasnt aware it looked so nice until i watched the video :)yes i love the striped stuff and i think if the leg warmers were purple or pink (my favourite colors) it'd look even better :D

[jerkcatgus]

In that case I think you will need some green or yellow socks. ;-)

[Yprkia]

hmm, i'd prefer black socks-dont like green or yellow:( ;)

[jerkcatgus]

Yeah but...opposite colors!
