I love how she provided us with a beginner version because most tutorials don’t.

People say that anna only has canadian fans.
Like if you’re not canadian

As a dancer I’ve always been told that my flexibility was what has been holding me back. I really paid no attention to it at first. I would just go to dance without stretching, or I would stretch for a day, then just leave it at that..until I got introduced to a new studio. All the other girls had splits and amazing flexibility except for me, and I was so frustrated about that. So I decided that it was time to actually step up and find a good stretching routine I could work with. I’ve always watched Anna for her stretching videos and flexibility challenges, but never followed through because I was afraid I wasn’t going to be too consistent. I decided it was time to step up and try after a lot of encouragement from myself and dance instructors. A month later, I’m practically on the ground on my right split since starting this routine and so close to my left split! I felt so happy knowing that when I put my mind to something, I can eventually do it, and I plan on working even harder to do oversplits, leaps, and crazy flexibility tricks just like Anna! I feel like everyone is looking for that one comment stating how they got their splits in 1-2 weeks, but keep in mind that it’s about consistency and determination. You can skip some days to let your muscles rest, and it’s okay if it took you longer than planned. You can find ways to make stretching fun, I did mine with some dance friends, watched videos while stretching, and more! Don’t give up tho! I promise you got this!

Sorry for the long paragraph ❤

i love that anna includes, everybody, by doing a beginners version.

[justagirl]

who’s not a beginner, but not at Anna’s level? But isn’t really in the middle either?

[raynethetrain]

I love how Anna does not expect you to already know some things like a split. A lot of other you tubers expect you to have a middle split already! Anna includes everyone at every level! Which is awesome!

[miamagnifique]

this routine really works wonders. I did this for just one week and I can already go into a full split. Highly recommend ♡︎

Things I wanna learn to do : Split + Middle Split, Leg hold, Leap, Get more flexible in my right leg .
~~~
Day 1-4 : Im already kinda flexible with my left leg, but not too much in my right, I can kinda do a split when my left leg is in the front, but when I do a split when my right leg is in the front, its horrible .
I can kinda hold my leg up, but only half way and if I do it for too long my leg starts to hurt . My right leg is getting more flexible, slowly tho lol .
[NOTE TO SELF]
~ Update this in 4 days ! ~
(I been busy sorry I couldnt update it on the correct day)
~~~
Day 4-8 : Im getting very flexible in my left leg, my split is getting better everyday !
My right leg is also getting very flexible, and I can sort of do a split when my right leg is in font .
My middle split is also getting straighter, and better. I believe in about 1 or 2 weeks, I will have all my splits down .

~ Update this in 4 days ! ~ (I wont forget this time lol .)

{Nov 5th} Day 8-12 : Idk if this is exactly 4 days later, but ive been getting close and closer to having a full split with my right leg in front, and my left leg in front . My middle split is also coming along :). I used to use about 3-4 pillows when I did a split with my right leg in front, but now I am only using 1 pillow ! My leap is also getting better and better, and my leg hold is *amazing!* Tho it still hurts a little when I do my splits, im still getting better and the pain is going away the more I get used to it.

~ Update this on *Nov 9th!* ~

~~~

{Nov 9th} Day 12-16 : My splits are getting so much better! Im honestly surprised, I am also learning to do a scorpion and that is going very well, I can kind of hold it up, but then my leg starts to hurt so I put it down, I also cant keep my balance too well . My leap is decent, it needs some work tho! Im getting deeper and deeper into my middle split, im almost there . And my leg hold has gotten better, and its getting straighter .

~ Update on *Nov 13th!* ~

~~~

{Nov 13th} Day 16-20 : My splits with my left leg in front is *complete!*, and my split with my right leg in front is getting SOO close to going all the way down ! Im honestly so happy and surprised that this stretch is working so well . It definitely took a little time but I am so happy it finally came along ! My middle split is getting deeper too, and my scorpion is getting amazing, I just need to work on arm strength so I can hold it up for a long time . My leg hold is *amazing!* and my leap is great . If you guys know any tips on how to improve my scorpion, could you let me know?
*Also, thank you guys for all of the nice comments ! I really appreciate them, and it warms my heart when I read all of them, thank you <3 !*

~ Update on *Nov 17!* ~

~~~

{Nov 17th - *last update* -} Day 20-24 : Both of my splits are basically complete! My leg hold is almost perfect, and my leap is amazing! My scorpion is good, and my middle split is decent! I am very grateful for this Stretch routine it has helped me become more flexible! Thank you to everyone who has stayed with me for these 24 days! Have a great night everyone. :) <3

I feel like she could be a really good teacher for gymnastics or something like that yk

[CandyUnicorn-qmzv]

The only reason I’m trying is because I once heard this quote “Pain is just weakness leaving your body” without that quote I wouldn’t even believe I could do this
