Box Splits: Stand feet astride and legs straight; slide both feet in opposite directions slowly and gently downwards. Try to keep your back straight. Place your hands in front of you on the floor to aid your balance. When you reach your full stretch hold between five to ten seconds then return to the start position. The best time to do this exercise is before you start your front split and after each spilt, i.e. front split (right) then box split followed by front split (left) repeating the exercise five times.
Front Splits: From the box split start position face your own left with the hip committed to the left, both legs straight, slide the feet in the opposite direction slowly and gentle towards the front splits. When you reach your full potential hold the movement for between five to ten seconds then change to the left side and repeat the exercise. This exercise works great with the box splits.
