  • @kandeerox What exercises and stretches do/did you do to get your legs up high for your toe touch? I have my middle splits and I've been doing leg lifts in a straddle position for a while, but I still,can't seem to pull a good toe touch yet! :-/ It's so frustrating after lots of work and it looks like I'm making no progress! Any helpful suggestions?

  • @TAYfEEver You have the right stretches, but jumping and doing them and doing them on the ground are totally different. Practice jumping and landing in a crouched position and work your way up. In order to get the good looking toe touch, you need to practice that, then the landing. You can also tie resistbands to your ankles and practice. it's hard, but it will help your height and muscles so much. The main thing to do is keep on practicing and stretching. It took me forever! :D

  • ah u just did a toe touch.

  • @Coachlisamca Toe touches and Russians are the same thing.

  • @kandeerox Yup, language depends on your audience. 

  • @4evrmiasumtymzlisa Yeah I took dance for 8 years and I have been cheerleading since I was 8 years old. I called them russians until I got a little into cheer and realized "Hey they don't call them that." Haha

  • @nvks No, it was a serious question, I'm a cheerleader, so we refer to them as toe touches. I try not to comment on videos unless necessary:) But that is kind of funny:D

  • @kandeerox Thanks, I was really confused lol.

  • @4evrmiasumtymzlisa or you just trolling that russians is no one? ;((
