CALeg Flexibility is a CRUCIAL part of contortion training.
When you train leg flexibility (meaning a combination of stretching, working on splits, and active flexibility) your body develops the necessary strength and flexibility needed to help you get deeper in your backbends.
Now you might be wondering…
“HOW? WHY?”
Let me explain!
A big part of safe backbending is hip flexor flexibility. But it’s more than that. It’s about being able to actively access your hip flexibility while in backbends to ensure you don’t overuse your low back.
If you train your leg flexibility properly, you *should* be developing leg and core strength, overall flexibility (obviously) and control through your end range of motion - which is SUPER important for healthy backbending 💯 (ESPECIALLY if your goals include Needle, Rainbow Marchenko, etc.)
So if you’re someone who usually skips leg flex because you don’t like it as much… STOP IT 😬😅😂
But seriously, I promise, it WILL make training your back flexibility safer and easier in the long run!
My Contortion Strong: Leg Flex Warm-up and Personalized Flexibility Training are the perfect programs to focus on your legs in the exact ways needed to make training Contortion easier 🦐
