(My) Soul Mate
Strength & Flexibility
There are soul mates that can’t be separated!
I often get asked these questions:
Why do I need to be flexible? I am not trying to be a dancer
I don’t want to gain any muscles, why should I train?
Can I just stretch?
How do I get my splits?
I am not born flexible, and I am older now, can I still be as flexible?
How do I get stronger in situations like that? I have no weights at home! I hate the gym!
Here’s why YOU SHOULD train BOTH - STRENGTH and FLEXIBILITY
1. Fewer Injuries and Less Pain
Correcting muscle imbalance! Most of us (including myself) are living a sedentary lifestyle which causes tight muscles in your neck, shoulders, wrist, back, and hip. Improving strength and flexibility can help us strengthen the under-active muscles and stretch out the overactive muscles.
2. Improved Posture and Balance
By improving your strength and flexibility, you will improve and increase your range of motion. With better posture and balance, you may find it easier to sit or stand in certain ways.
3. Muscle Tension
It’s VERY important to strengthen yourself as you become more flexible. You can’t have an OVERSTRETCH MUSCLE without having any strength to support the muscle tension around it. Overtime, this will cause injuries.
4. Confidence & Positive Mind
You probably already know that by exercising, your body creates endorphins that makes you feel amazing and energizing. The endorphins will give you a sense of self confidence. By strengthening and stretching regularly, it will bring out the feeling of relaxation, a relaxed and positive state of mind.
Can I still get my splits even if I am not born flexible?
The answer is simply YES!
HOW CAN I BE MORE FLEXIBLE? I want to get my splits.
The RULES:
1️⃣Stretch
2️⃣Commit
3️⃣Repeat
Sounds EASY!? Yes? No?
This is how you get INJURED if you don't have a proper warm up or a stretching routine! How do I stretch/commit/or even repeat if I don't even know what's the right way to do it?
I am not born flexible. Before I started my fitness journey, I can barely touch my toes! It took me years and I am still struggling with my right split due to scoliosis. But training my flexibility helps me with my daily routine and increases my strength in my work out.
There's no "rules' in how to getting a split. BUT, there's definitely a RIGHT way to achieve it by the amount of time and effort you put in. So here's how I achieved my split in A YEAR!! (yes A YEAR)
👉Commit to stretching (5-10 mins a day) after my workouts.
👉You might not see your progress in a week, or even a month! But I stretched 10 mins after my workout, and that's almost 2 hours of stretching in a month!!
👉Make sure you are warm up before you stretch! (your body acts like a rubber band, if it's too cold, it will SNAP and BREAK)
👉Your hamstrings, quads, and hip flexor should be warm before attempting a split
👉Don't forget to breath!
