  • I had been wondering too!! Hahaha I always read it in my head as “23” but I had decided at some point you have 3 kids and call them your little mangoes or something lol not that far off I guess!

  • Arctic zero is awful!! I have a friend that has tried the Breyers and said it is the best out of the 3 but I haven't tried it for myself yet. Mint chocolate is my favorite too :)
  • @deauxgirl2 unfortunately I think there is a 0% chance of it being muscle. I just need to tighten up, get serious, and decide what's really important to me. There's a muscle and strength program that's just MWF and I think would only take like a half an hour to do but I just can't make myself get up in the morning before…
  • Ohhhh that looks like it feels so good!! Try bringing your feet in a little bit and see if you can get your knees to stay down... if not it's probably just the way you're built :) you don't want to hyperextend just to get them down.

I don't know what I'm doing?? :s
  • I would love to see Glass Animals!! I want to see Gary Clark Jr.!!
  • @TiisTitanium that's so awesome! Just keep practicing, you'll get there :)
  • @wezreeeee77 ok so I’m totally impressed. I would fall off one of those things immediately and you’re making it look pretty! I wish we had an aerial arts place closer to me

  • Welcome @TiisTitanium and @kschr201 !

I was up all week so I’m actually ok with seeing this number again. I’m going to start a total body…
  • Thanks, still a long way from goal though!
  • Sooo splits are ok but my faces in the overhead heel stretches are pretty great. I look scared :D
  • @xelsoo finally got around to taking pics of #13 for you... like I said I stretch both ways but try flexing your feet and keeping a flat back and you can get a really good hamstring stretch!
  • ^^ I’ll have to look into that!! I’m always up for trying something new.
  • @mom23mangos I just read a study on it because I wasn't aware of it! I really only come across Hatha yoga in my area..targeting connective tissue vs. muscles is something I should look into but I certainly wouldn't want to be going into my splits cold!
  • Yesyesyes. I want to reiterate this for everyone. The best time to stretch with the goal of increasing flexibility is after your muscles are already warm, not as a warm up! At the very least warm up your large muscle groups before attempting stretching for flexibility... in my classes we run in place, do jumping jacks,…
  • @mom23mangos great posture on your split pictures!! I've also fractured my left foot lol so be careful and patient with yourself on that one! And I agree with you on pose #4. Keeping the shoulders over the hips would translate into splits better but I think the progressive nature of the chart above has that early on…
  • lol I feel you. I'm trying to improve heel stretches and splits so my outtakes last night were pretty funny. I'll post photos on lunch if I have time.
  • I did it for about six months and I eat no meat at all. I ate a LOT of cheese, peanuts, Mission1/Quest bars, cauliflower-based recipes, eggs, veggies, peanut butter... I kept under 30 (net) grams of carbs. It's not easy, but it is possible. I ultimately gave it up because I missed fruit and was sick of beating myself up…
  • I don't get asked this (yet?) lol but this thread made me lol
  • Congrats!!! Also you look way taller than 5'3"!
  • Aw glad I could help :) I didn't make it to my workout/stretch yesterday because we ended up going out to dinner and that threw off my whole evening. Oops!
  • Hi! I'll post pics later (I'm at work) For pics #1&2 when you're going into your split try to keep your shoulders square to the front with one hand on each side of your leg (I'm guessing you practice like that but lifted your hand to the leg for a better picture) but that will keep you from sitting into one hip too far.…
  • I'll join you! I can already do splits but I want to improve them/make them prettier and accomplish #28-30 on the chart above! I really need to improve back flexibility. I also want my heel stretch to look more like this girl's than mine lol
  • :D :D :D :D :D omg.. same. My response would've probably been something along the lines of "wow, ok." And then cut the person out of my life for awhile.
  • 3/26 SW: 138.4 4/2: 137.2 4/9: 136.0 4/16: 135.8 4/23: 136.0 GW by 5/25: 128.0 Ugh. Wrong direction... I did terribly last week and weekend so I should expect it. I picked up my bridesmaid dress for my sister's wedding (5/25/18) annnnnnnnnd it doesn't fit. So it's time to get serious :worried:
