So how flexible are you? If you are into pilates, you will know what it feels like to be able to perform a perfect split without the 'uhs and ahs'. That's achieving a major fitness goal right there. But it's definitely not an easy task and takes a great deal of time to master. Good flexibility is important for any fitness regime, and leg split - be it standing side split, Russian split on the reformer, front split, jumping split or half split - is an effective tool to measure one's flexibility level and stay motivated too.
If you are a follower of celebrity fitness trainer Namrata Purohit, her love for splits is no secret.
The fitness enthusiast is regularly seen breaking into jaw dropping splits to inspire her followers to get into the pilates way of life. From a headstand split to an upside down hanging split, she does it all like a breeze.
The trainer's celebrity students have also been setting major fitness goals by acing leg splits. She recently posted a picture of Kareena Kapoor Khan looking fit as ever and performing a side split like a pro. She rightly captioned it with this quote by Amelia Earhart: "The most effective way to do it, is to do it". We couldn't agree more.
Few weeks before we saw Sonakshi Sinha performing a side split and flaunting her flexibility. She indeed has been raising the bar.
With these celebrities performing leg splits flawlessly, we are sure in the days to come we will find more and more people taking their fitness game to another level and working on their flexibility. While the headstand splits and hanging splits may take time to master, you can sure get started with the side split. Inspired enough?
