When straighting the leg

@@juamachin As you start to get more mobile, your joints start to move more. Popping or cracking noises could just be a gas in the joints that pop when you move. So if that doesn’t hurt, then it’s totally normal. It’s just showing you that you are increasing the mobility in your joints. Don’t worry, it will get better with practice. Please continue doing the exercise with bent knees until you feel more comfortable. Please note that if you feel pain when it pops and/or if you have to pop it in order to get a certain range of motion, then there might be a problem and you might need to consult a doctor ❤

@@stretchitapp Its painless, thanks for the advise, greetings!

Frog Pose is a great stretch for opening your hips and alleviating back pain, which can be definitely beneficial for your gait. In the full Frog Pose, you are supposed to lie fully flat on the ground 🙂

Sure! Please check out our Hips and Middle Split class package on the STRETCHIT app (www.stretchitapp.com/app) which contains a lot of hip-opening exercises including frog pose. Also, we would suggest you to join our Middle Splits Challenge on the app (Programs on the bottom menu) focused on hip, adductor, and hamstring stretches. Happy stretching ❤

To modify the frog pose, you can try a high-V straddle on your back or a seated single leg straddle until you get more comfortable. Also, one of our favorite middle split exercises is the flunge - half froggy / half lunge. All these modifications target the same area but in a different way. Also, your bony structure can possibly be a limiting factor. In this case, your hip bones are limited (by their shape) which is very common. If you have any amount of femoral anteversion (thigh bones twist to point in more than average, very common and nbd) or deeper hip sockets (more coverage of femoral heads by the acetabulum) that would cause limitations in this position. You would need special tests and imaging to confirm these so it’s just something to keep in mind. If it’s painful, don’t push into it, but if it’s not painful there’s no concern really, just manage your expectations and keep moving forward! Hope this helps ❤

@@stretchitapp Thanks alot for the tips. Liked and subscribed by the way. I started stretching and doing the frog pose and it took almost a year to get all the way down.. The way some folks bone structure is set prohibits a full split regardless of how limber you are like you said. I will try the method you prefered and chime back in to let you know the results. Nice channel by the way, your stretching videos have been beneficial.

@@marksmith-po7wl Thank you for the kind words and good luck with your training! 💪

@@marksmith-po7wl If you haven't done so yet, please also check out our classes on the STRETCHIT app (www.stretchitapp.com/app), especially our Hips and Middle Split classes and flexibility programs 😊❤

Hi! Sorry, I am not sure I understood you correctly. Could you please explain what you mean? Thank you.
