Splits in 8 weeks?! 🤔

I didn’t have a ballet or gymnastics childhood so flexibility wasn’t really my thing. The time when I realise stretching was important was when I started exercising & dancing regularly. Oh, and not forgetting how slow my body recovers now (😞), so cooling down (stretches) are extremely important now.

So this year I made a conscious effort to stretch properly and also embarked on a 8-weeks splits journey 🤩 And if you wondering, why splits? That’s really specific. There’s no special reason to be honest, it’s just that this has been something that I wanted to do but I didn’t have any proper guidance and discipline. 🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️

I know your next question.

“So you can split already?”

The answer is no, but I’m more than half way there (like obv you can see from the photos above). But I think what I got out from this 8-weeks course is more than just wanting to achieve splits. I’ve learnt to activate the correct muscles💪🏻, worked on my form🧘🏻‍♀️, build strength 🏋🏻and basically became conscious of the way I’m pushing my body. And of course I learnt so many exercises which I can do them at home while aiming to achieve my full splits 🤸🏻‍♀️

I did my course with Adedance Aerial – they have a wide range of courses like Aerial, Contortion, Ballet Barre, Handstands, Hammock & many more. It’s not too late to pick up a new hobby 🤭 so do visit their website to find out more. They are located at Marina One (mine was here) & Tai Seng — which you can choose when you join their courses.

Will I continue? Yes. Because I’m serious about getting my splits HAHA 🤣 Shout-out to my instructor Megan, and her saving grace for me on some days “10 more seconds, hold it there!!” #nopainnogain 🤡

Hope this inspires you to try something new & feel free to bump me with questions!! 💬
