Sorry I didn’t see this sooner! I would focus on bringing your knees backwards and bring your feet farther apart. You could also go onto your forearms and rock hips forward and backwards. As you progress you can straighten one leg at a time.
My flexibility isn’t as good as I would lile either! Lol. Thank you for answering, I’ll do my best while doing the streches, trying to do them as often as possible. Unfortunately I don’t have the help of friends so I have to do it all by myself, they say I’m crazy.. Lol
Wow! That’s incredible! I’m new in the challenge and I wanted to know how much did it took for you to reach that flexibility. Thank you very much! You’re improvement really inspires me because my current splits are quite the same like you’re first one.
Hope you have a nice day,
Maddy.
First day is looking good 🙂 I’m glad to see you’ve kept both legs straight, rather than dropping the knee, that takes a lot of strength! Tightening your muscles; the butt, hamstring, quads, and calves, on the inhale will help you get even straighter, and Relaxing your muscles on the exhale will help you get even lower.
Another suggestion, use 2 chairs or yoga blogs to prop your upper body straight up, although leaning down like that is a good stretch as well, especially for the hamstring in the front leg. Bringing the upper body up and backwards will help you engage the hip flexor in the back leg more effectively.

Glad to hear that regardless of your rough weeks, you’re still making progress! Go you! 😀
