A healthy woman is always the key to a happy life. But not all young girls take care to avoid having bare lower backs, to keep their pelvic organs warm and dry, to follow proper hygiene habits, or to avoid leading a promiscuous life. There is, however, one more big thing that few women know about. Ladies, can you do the split?
If not, you should start training. This exercise is, according to gynecologists, very useful for women’s health. Today we will therefore tell you more about it. Besides what it is good for, you can learn with us how to do the split without hurting yourself.
Noticeable benefits of the split
The ability to do the split affects the female cycle, specifically it regulates menstruation. It has been proven that women who can sit into a split conceive more easily and also give birth more easily. And even with less pain than those who do not know how to do the split and cannot even approach the starting position. During this exercise, blood circulation of the pelvic organs and the abdominal cavity is significantly improved. It is an excellent prevention against diseases of the urogenital system for both women and men. In addition, the ability to do the split prevents the development of varicose veins and improves the immune system.
The span of the legs in a split is truly enormous. If you think you are too old for such exercises, you are mistaken. The split is an exercise suitable for young adolescent girls as well as for women in middle and older age. The main thing is not to rush into the split position and not to make sudden movements. If you want to get results, it’s enough to perform simple exercises daily that will gradually help you get your body and especially your legs into this seemingly demanding position.
Exercises for results
If you want to start, first stretch your muscles. A lunge with one leg bent at the knee and the other stretched back will help get your legs and pelvis into the right shape. During the exercise make sure you feel the stretch in your legs but also in your spine. Keep your head straight, slightly push your chin forward. Tense your muscles and breathe deeply. Then switch legs.
Bent leg
The next position continues the previous one. Place the knee of the extended leg on the mat, bend the other leg at the knee and hold your lower back. Lean back slightly and tilt your head back. Do the exercise slowly so you don’t get a sudden pain or otherwise hurt yourself. Hold the position for at least a minute, then switch legs.
Turtle position
After this position, return to the first one. Extend one leg back and rest on the toe, bend the other at the knee. Place your palms on the ground and try to bring your torso beside the bent leg. Push your chest toward the floor and breathe deeply. With each exhale try to go lower and lower. Repeat the same position with the other leg.
Bent leg position 2
In the next position, don’t change the placement of the legs, but instead of using your hands, support yourself on the mat with your chest and rest your chin on the ground. It’s more demanding, but it’s doable. Move into the position slowly, with each exhale move lower and your body will hurt less.
Split position
The last position is also the final one. If you don’t get into the split right away, don’t despair. Everything takes time; first of all you must stretch your body and especially your pelvis so that you can spread your legs as wide as possible.
