Heel Stretch Tips

[Jojo]

I need some help getting my left and right stretches. I do the splits and over splits and everything but I'm not getting better. Any help ?

Flexibility is only one half of the equation. As well as stretching, you need to work the strength of your legs to that you can bring your leg up and in front you into your heel stretch. Doing kicks with ankle weights or resistance bands are a great way to strengthen your legs and get an explosive lift into your heel stretch.

Just remember to keep your chest up, and to not sacrifice form for function!

I know that this is an old thread, but what can I use in place of ankle weights

I know a friend of mine that ties jeans onto her ankles instead of having to buy ankle weights

A friend of mine filled ziplock bags with uncooked rice/beans and tied them around her ankles in place of ankle weights.
