My coach used to call the open-hip splits "lazy cheat" cuz it's easier to achieve compare with the squared one. But I didn't know about the injury part. Thx for bringing this up. And for those who comment on ballet dancer's splits, their hips are squared, they only turn out the knee( if you take a look, their hips are not tilted to one side; only the knee and the sole are turned out).

@rachelplummer2668 3 года назад

Turnout comes from the hip flexors(or the “sockets,” if you will). If dancers force their turnout using their knees or ankles, they are bound to get injured. Please educate yourself about proper ballet technique!

@rachelplummer2668 3 года назад

Ballet dancers have to stretch and strengthen their turnout muscles so that they can maintain proper turnout while maintaining proper technique in all other parts of the body. Turnout is best served with square hips :))

@@rachelplummer2668 yes thank you for. Telling them I am a ballet dancer as well (on the amount of knowing you have I’m pretty sure your a ballet dancer)

@goo2075 2 года назад

@@rachelplummer2668 My ballet teacher always tells me to turnout, cause I suck at it. When we do are adagio combination at the barre, that's when I forget to turnout.

@SS_Soph 3 месяца назад

Yes ballets still have hips square but instead of their toes pointing to the ceiling there toes is turned 90 degrees like u said knees They have different rules but the closest sport to Rythmic Gymnastics

@DoraFora007 3 года назад

Okay, so, I trained rhythmic gymnastic for 10 years (from 5th to 15th). Then I found out I have scoliosis and doctors said it was cuz of gymnastic (using one side). I guess this was one of the reasons... watch your back, girls!

Artistic gymnastics coach here. Thank GOD someone is addressing square splits. I have students come in all the time and show me their splits and they’re horrifically crooked. It’s a bad habit a lot of people get in. A bad habit that can hurt your body and mess up critical skills. I’ll definitely be recommending this to my gymnasts

@20barcelona68 3 года назад

Love it, this is extremely important in Artistic Gymnastics as well. I will be using this for my girls. Lol

@reysaccount9816 3 года назад

My dance teacher always told me to do square hips, but never genuinely told me how. This is very helpful, thank you!

@Sky-ht6tv 2 года назад

I always though it was because when doing something like a grand jeté, your hips are meant to be squared.

@allisonc486 3 года назад

This is exactly the video I've been looking for! No one ever corrected me as a kid, but I definitely figured out my hips were totally open and twisted as I got older. Even something as simple as kicking up to a handstand had my hips discombobulated and retraining my body has been quite the challenge. I saw the IGTV you did on square splits a while ago and this is the perfect follow up. I've been watching you for years and years on here and it's been awesome seeing your videos blow up on TikTok!

The way u showed was a good way to identity if u are sitting in square split correctly (yes it's dangerous for ur health if u won't sit correctly but I also have a different way ( I do Rythmic Gymnastics ) basically u check if ur but line matches with ur spine ( back) in a straight line but if ur but line goes to the side it means ur sitting wrong That's how I ✔ ✅ check

@mariesacul722 3 года назад

This very old lady. Lol, never ever liked opposite side split either. And was never at your level. So, never pushed the other side at all. Why is it that one side is so easy? And not the other? Idk. Then, my daughter could very easy do the full splits facing fwd. And without traing ever at age six. But never was able to do a side split at all. I found that interesting. It came to my attention and hers only because she started martial arts at 6 and during stretches she felt into what I only ever knew as Chinese splits. Not sure correct terminology as I never had any formal gymnastics training. Other than sheer persistent and determination. After the 1970 something summer Olympics watching nadia komonishi sp?. I love your videos. So far. Your an olympian?

Square hips are really hard for me unless my foot is turned out (which is still hard but slightly less painful because I’m more sued to it) I can go down if my back is straight, but it hurts really bad. Hopefully one day I can do it more easily :)

Is there a deduction for unsquare hips in RG? For example, Aleksandra Soldatova had super impressive flexibility, but her back leg was often going out to the side in ring position, for example.

@Alexiaourt 2 года назад
