Even though I already memorized this routine, I watch the video every time I do it because I like that someone is suffering with me. 😂 Thanks Tom.

Last year as someone with no stretching experience who could couldn’t even touch his toes it was always a joke when I told my friends I’d learn to do a split one day. But since I found this video I’ve been practicing once a week and I finally did it!

Tom: "Alright, let's do a quick test to see where your middle split is at."
Me: (measures with app) barely 114° degrees and in pain 🤣

I got my front splits from his front splits follow along routine. I actually did it and don't give up. I began my front splits journey 2019 and it took me ±6 months to achieve it. I am getting better by the day and his follow along videos do work!! You that's reading this, DO NOT GIVE UP. You can do it.
If it was easy everyone would do it
Love and light♥
PS thank you Tom !!★

I started this middle splits routine on the 1st of January this year and I was about 30 cm off the floor. Did the middle splits on the 31st of August, just a few days ago! I did the routine almost every evening and it took me exactly eight months to do the splits. I think the PNF exercises were especially helpful. Thanks so much, Tom! Now I will try working on the handstand.

I love how how unlike a lot of other youtubers who do flexibility videos you are struggling, because I am struggling too! It makes it relatable and inspiring. Also I love the calm music in the background as I am in pain. Thanks!

When he said 'there are days that we can split and some days we cannot, so we need to respect that and cannot force it'. Now I know, that's why there's some days I can split but some I feel weird because I cannot.
Thanks for the clarification.

[inessaracherrak]

yay!!! i have been impatiently waiting for this! Your follow alongs are straight to the point and my favorites.
Update: did it, hated every second of it, dear god are middle splits tough.

I've said all my life "oh I'm not flexible at all, I can't even touch my toes..." but now at 26, after almost 2 weeks of doing some of your routines, I can finally do it effortlessly! Your videos and routines are great, thank you so much Tom!!

For the last year, I've been 2-3 inches away from doing the middle splits, and Toms routine has helped me accomplish this. I now can do the middle splits with a minimal warm-up, and it feels great! Thanks, Tom!

[utkuarslan]

now i feel how Earth felt when the Pangea was splitting.

[Broadbased]

I like the fact that this is a pretty short routine. Most common gymnastics middle split routines take about 40' or more and I simply don't have that time available for stretching.

[daisyrogozinsky]

jesus christ tom here I was thinking this would be a fun little thing to try on my rest what ?!?!?!! this is so intense!!! I'm glad at least you're also feeling it

[klaudiabanyai]

I only found this gem now! Honestly I love seeing how you also suffer with us. Most of the people can already do every kind of flexibility magic, and then they explain how it worked for them, but I prefer evolving together. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this! I am in my 30s and taking dance lessons. I've been trying to deepen my middle splits for awhile, but I got stuck--plus had piriformis pain every time I tried! Most middle split tutorials I've found on YouTube are 13 year old girls who put their legs against a wall and magically get their middle splits in a week. It just wasn't working for me. I learned about PNF stretching through the course I'm taking to get my yoga teacher certification. I researched it on YouTube and found your channel. Now I'm making progress in my middle splits!

I started doing this routine about 25-30 days ago and i FINALLY did it!!!! Thanks

[javierrosquete]

I wake up every morning and do your follow along 5 minute mobility, it's been a year with Mr. Body Weight Warrior, and I cannot thank you enough. I have just done this routine, and even though it hurt, when I ended it, I could not believe I'd been at it for almost 20 minutes, thanks once again for your tutorial!

[nataliapetrova]

This routine is awesome. I was at the same level, where Tom is in the video and in about two months I'm completely down and practicing my oversplit! Thank you so much Tom for creating this routine 🙌!

[Joygulplay]

I'm 1 inch away from achieving full middle split! Thank you so much for making this routine!
