Description: Split Leg Part 2

Part two is to help build muscle duration and create pathways to make your body feel like this pose is normal and natural instead of awkward! Do these things on repeat to activate the exact muscles needed to get this pose.

Skater lunge and balance by bringing knee up to a 90 degree angle in front of you which builds lower abdomen.

AB Skater Balance

Side ounce and thread the needle- builds lower abdomen for arm balances

AB Side Lung with Thread the Needle

On a 12” box or a stair step foot up and lunge kick forward. Lengthens hip flexor, builds quads and lower abdomen for arm balances. Lifting the back leg in split leg pose requires lower ab strength and glute activation.

AB Incline Lunge Kick

NOT HIP DIPS! 
While holding plank you will bring hip towards armpit! Movement is only about 2” forward on each side but activates obliques which helps you in arm balances!

Plank Oblique Crunch

This opens chest and upper back for more length in arm balances/ also helps build abs required to hold pose

AB Wild thing and knee to elbow.

Opens chest and builds core and arms for arm balances

AB Wild Thing to tricep knee to elbow pushup

Do this slow and controlled and eventually that back leg will lift. Doing this repetitively helps your body to feel normal and natural in the split leg pose. You will float into the pose instead of forcing your way into it!
