Pamela Reif’s Stretching Routine Will Help You Do the Splits

If you knew how to do the splits as a child, but lost that ability somewhere along the way, you’re not alone. Fitness superstar Pamela Reif felt the same way—which is why she developed a new stretching routine, hoping it would help her slide into the New Year with an elegant split.

Reif came up with a series of stretches fully targeted on hip mobility, hamstring, and thigh flexibility. By making improvements in those areas, she’s hoping she’ll be able to slide into a front split in no time, and she’s asking her fans to join her on this journey.

You can do Reif’s stretching routine in just eight minutes, and it’s incredibly relaxing. Some of the exercises she included in this workout are high and low lunges, hamstring and sit down stretches, and pigeon pose, and she repeated them all several times throughout the workout.

The splits require a lot of flexibility and hard work, and you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself if you can’t get them right. Stretching on a daily basis is beneficial either way and doing a perfect split is just an added bonus that gives you bragging rights.
