I can not think of a single child who has not tried to do a full split with all their mighty might. And I can not think of a child who hasn’t failed in this attempt. As adults, we take Pilates and Yoga and get closer to that coveted split, but we never quite reach it, and we look at adult ballerinas with awe and envy, as they not only do normal splits but can stretch their legs even farther.
For the adult who wishes to be like an adult ballerina, I have some very, very exciting news. The app STRETCHIT teaches you, with video guides, tools, and tricks, to go from whatever state your legs are into being able to not only do splits but to do splits as flexible as those of professional adult ballerinas, going even farther than a regular split.
This flexibility, like constant Pilates, will also help reshape your body with continuous, gentle stretching exercises. It will help flatten your stomach and shrink your thighs, and help tone your body as a whole.
STRETCHIT enables us all to achieve a somewhat elusive dream we have had since we were little girls – to master the split. But instead of needing to go to an expensive dance or gymnastics class for years to do it, you can achieve it in three months, for much less, with their app. It is one of those things that provide inexplicable joy in using while indeed not a necessity.
So go ahead and, Lana Del Rey-style, spin – or instead split – like a ballerina. After a whole adolescence watching the star cheerleader do those impossible splits, you’ve earned it.
