Achieve Your Splits Goals: A Scientific Approach

Are you striving to perfect your splits? At Cheeky Fitness, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve this goal with a scientifically backed approach. Our specialized classes focus on stretching and strengthening the key muscles involved in achieving perfect splits.

Key Muscles to Stretch and Strengthen

• Hamstrings (Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus)

  • Stretch: Forward Fold – Stand with feet hip-width apart and hinge at the hips to touch your toes. Keep your knees slightly bent if necessary.

  • Strengthen: Single-Leg Deadlifts – Stand on one leg, hinge at the hip, and extend the other leg back, maintaining a straight line from head to heel.

• Hip Flexors (Psoas Major, Iliacus):

  • Stretch: Lunge Stretch – Step one foot forward into a lunge position, keeping the back leg straight and lowering the hips towards the floor.

  • Strengthen: Mountain Climbers – Start in a plank position and alternate bringing knees towards the chest.

• Quadriceps (Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Medialis, Vastus Intermedius):

  • Stretch: Standing Quad Stretch – Stand on one leg, bend the opposite knee, and pull the heel towards the glutes.

  • Strengthen: Squats – Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, lower into a squat, and rise back up, ensuring knees don’t go past the toes.

• Adductors (Adductor Longus, Adductor Brevis, Adductor Magnus, Gracilis, Pectineus):

  • Stretch: Butterfly Stretch – Sit on the floor with soles of the feet together, gently press the knees towards the floor.

  • Strengthen: Side Lunges – Step out to the side and bend one knee, keeping the other leg straight, then return to the center.
