How can you kick your foot above your head?

Similar to the above, how can you raise your leg behind your head.

Your left hand should be supporting your right foot. Now, lateral rotate your femur by guiding your right foot. Next, draw your knee under your shoulder. Similar to what we did in the third warm up (only this time, supine), bend your head forward and raise your leg behind you using your left arm.

What muscles can be used to raise your leg? Leg raises are a strength training exercise that targets the iliopsoas, or anterior hip flexors. Leg raises are often used to strengthen the abdominal muscles and the internal and exterior oblique muscles.

Why is it so difficult to do side splits?

Side splits are more difficult than front splits. This is because people walk forward in life and don't walk sideways. Walking forward increases your flexibility in forward splittings. Side splits would be easier if people had walked sideways since the beginning of time.

Can everyone do splits?

Everyone can learn how to do the splits eventually. Many people aren't naturally flexible, but I can do both the and HTML2_ splits with my legs. It doesn't take much effort to stretch. Try it every day. Don't stretch for longer than 30 seconds.
