Day 4 - Middle Splits Challenge

By Sam Obsession — Jul 20, 2024

I woke up and went to the gym.

I completed my routine (skipped pull-ups due to the soreness of my palms)

I didn't feel like doing the stretches and core exercises at the gym; so, I came home.

I warmed up with some minor horse stance.

I also completed 3 sets of the butterfly pose - 1-min stretch with 15-lbs weight disc on each thigh and 1-min rest in between.

Again, my thighs ache and I could feel them stretching while in position; the 60 seconds felt like an hour and the overall 10-mins felt like 24 hrs.

I also used the kids' tumbling mat for support due to its shape & material.

I think I did pretty okay with the training.

I'm beginning to feel minor thigh muscle ache, but nothing serious to keep me down.

I feel like I'm becoming more limber; however, I haven't seen a noticeable change in the splits.

After the training, I also completed another warm-up with the butterfly pose and the weights.

I also practised the butterfly pose throughout the day, using a 10-pound or 15-pounds disc on each thigh.

After work, I stretched with the butterfly pose and afterwards, I did another 10-mins splits training.

After the training, I stretched with the butterfly pose again.

I'm beginning to crave this goal very much; I can't stop stretching almost anywhere.

With consistency and no-quit attitude, I will accomplish this goal. See ya tomorrow!.
