Hanging active splits
Skill Tree
Technique
- Hang from rings or a bar with straight arms and your shoulders engaged.
- Open your legs as wide as possible to the sides into a middle split, using only your leg muscles, and hold briefly.
- Bring the legs back together, then open them front and back into a front split, one leg forward and one back.
- Alternate between the positions, or hold each one, with straight legs and pointed toes.
Form tips
- Lift the legs into the split actively instead of letting them fall: the goal is to strengthen the end range of your Splits .
