Just working on my middle splits in class with Amanda on Tuesday. I should have gotten pictures of the actual middle split, I got my legs to the floor on Tuesday.
It’s late … and I can’t think of any flexibility puns right now…
Slowly but surely making some progress. I got the forearm backbend! Something just clicked and I got it … I also found an easier way to get into it without upsetting my lower back.

It wasn’t a split decision to stretch today…
Puns! Yeah! Alright! Got another day of stretching in! I guess from my lack of a start to this challenge, these pictures would be my Day 1 of middle splits. Warmed up with some Rockin’ Legs N Abs – can’t go wrong with Cleo – and devoted the rest of the time to just focus on middle splits. Happy to …
