Square hips in splits are crucial for a safer and more efficient position. When your hips are square, you avoid putting excessive strain on the hamstring of your front leg and distribute the appropriate pressure to your back leg's hip flexor and quad.
Watch the videos to understand how to achieve square hips, target your hip flexors and quads correctly, and check if your hips are properly aligned in the split position. The video provides valuable instructions on training square hips for optimal results!

I have had so much trouble understanding exactly how to square my hips. This has been the most helpful of all videos and articles I’ve read. Thank you soooo much :))
So happy to hear this! Thank you for the feedback 😊❤
And did you manage to do the square splits afterwards?
Excellent tutorial!!! I learned more in this video than I’ve learned paying for a physical therapist and personal trainer. I can tell that the instructor in this video has a lot of knowledge about human anatomy and movement.
Thank you for watching 🖤
THANK YOU
Thank you for explaining the back leg stretches😊 it was much needed!!
🥰
How does this channel only have 20k subs?!
Its damn near criminal you guys don't get more recognition.
You got yourself a new sub, and i thank you for all the useful information: I'm a cyclist and i used to not care about stretching at all. Then i started to get chronically sore and stiff around my hips and thighs, and after some weeks of stretching, that's almost all gone. It was very painful to stretch at first, but i feel so much better now. I can move my hips without pain now!
Thank you!! 🙌 totally agree 😂
Also - than you for stretching with us! We’re very happy with your progress 🖤
Just wanted to let you know, that we have more classes similar to this one on the STRETCHIT app www.stretchitapp.com/app, please check them out! ❤
amazing!! thank you 🫶🏼
Helpful. Thanks!
Happy to hear this ❤Good luck with your training!
When I was a little girl I did dance and could do the splits, except I never had square hips. Years and years later after quitting dance and I’m about as flexible as a piece of wood 😂 but I want to do the splits again for fun. But this time I’ll be doing it properly haha
With consistent practice and the right stretches, you'll be back to doing the splits, and this time with square hips! Please check out our classes and Splits programs on the STRETCHIT app (www.stretchitapp.com/app ) and happy stretching 😊❤
@@stretchitapp thank you so much 😊
i love this video, it has helped me so much
Thank you so much for the feedback! We are glad you love the video 😊❤
Yes! More weight on the back thigh and lifting my arms up did the trick for me. Strangely, the left hamstring being more flexible causes me more difficulty with squaring hips on this side.
We're happy to hear that our tips made a difference for you! Keep up the great work 💪 It's common for flexibility to vary between sides, which can impact exercises like squaring the hips. Focusing on balanced stretching and incorporating exercises that target hip alignment will help. Please check out our Front Splits Challenge on the STRETCHIT app www.stretchitapp.com/app (Programs on the bottom menu -> Splits Programs). The program is focused on hamstring, hip flexor, and quadricep stretches to achieve or improve your splits. Additionally, check out the "Splits: Square Hips" class (Classes on the bottom menu -> STRETCHIT Fundamentals) to discover how to target your hip flexors effectively, ensure hip alignment, and conquer front split challenges. Hope this helps!
Also - your left hamstring being more flexible naturally tries to take the pressure off the right hip flexor. If you focus on the hip flexor for a while, your splits will become a breeze 🖤

You are very welcome! 🖤
need more
We'll start posting new videos this week. Stay tuned!
Thankyou for the video! I'm still working on my flexibility at the moment however, where can I buy those blocks from? I'm in AUS
You're very welcome 😊Yoga stores usually have the blocks. Big online retailers (like Amazon) would have them. You can also substitute the blocks with books or even chairs, anything supportive to your hands would work.
Also, if you haven't done it yet, please check out the STRETCHIT app at www.stretchitapp.com/app. We offer more than 85 hours of flexibility and mobility video classes (new classes are released weekly), all flexibility programs, and personal training recommendations ❤
@stretchitapp thankyou! I actually purchased some from big w market last night so hopefully they should be delivered this week! I'll check out that app. I think I've overstretched 🫣
@@RebeccaVoigt-pv1vw Glad to hear you found the blocks 😊 During the classes, please only go as far as your body allows. Keeping the discomfort level around a 5 out of 10 instead of higher can help ensure that you are stretching safely. Happy stretching! ❤
I need advice, so I'm more flexible on my left side my left front leg it's easier to touch the floor, but my right leg is super stiff even though I stretch both sides.
Thank you for your patiecne. If it's a 'natural' imbalance (not a result of prior injury), then it's absolutely normal. Just give your right side some extra attention. This means holding stretches during your training session a bit longer on your right side. Happy stretching! ❤
Can we square hips in oversplits
Definitely! It's actually really important to square the hips in over-splits 🖤
is it weird that when i try to do my splits, my back leg turns out?
It's totally normal. That's how your body is trying to compensate imbalances. We recommend you keep your back leg parallel though (and your hips square). You may need to lift up a little to achieve the square hips alignment
This is amazing but I still did not understand how to square my hips
Another video explaining how you can use a wall to help you square your hips in splits is coming soon! Stay tuned 🖤
I have pain in my left SI joint when I come out of my left front split - does anyone know if this could be why
Hi Hannah! Thank you for your question. If you are experiencing pain that's outside of just mild discomfort, it might be an indication of an injury and you might need to consult a doctor. Please be careful. Also, if you've struggled with ligament injuries in the past, we encourage you to see a PT who can clearly diagnose the problem and most likely assess your mechanics as well. Remember how important it is to stay safe and not push yourself through pain. Hope this helps! 🌺
@@stretchitapp thanks for the response. I am currently working with a PT, I’m not asking for medical advice I was just wondering if this was a common scenario you see. My PT and I have been working to heal this for some time now but haven’t figured out exactly what is causing it as it seems to come and go. Was wondering if someone more specialized in stretching could provide had insight about that specifically. No worries if not ❤️
@@hannah4323 I'm sorry but we haven't received any feedback from anyone with pain in SI joints 🌸
Where can I buy stretching blocks?
You can buy the blocks in local yoga stores or order them online on the websites like Amazon. You can also substitute yoga blocks with anything supportive for your hands, i.e. pillows or books. Good luck with your training! ❤
Hi, may i ask one question? I really hope that someone can help me because i have this problem and i find it really frustrating: when i lift my back calf to bring it against my butt at 2:20, why my hamstrings in my back leg cramps A LOT? And when i say it a lot, it means that i have to put my leg down immediately. What does that mean, do i have some imbalances? Whatever is my problem, how can i solve it?
Hi! Thank you for your question. The reason why your hamstrings are cramping is probably that you are not fully extending the back hip. If that hip crease (that's facing the floor) starts to lift, meaning if your hips begin to pike while you pull your heel in, your hamstring will cramp, because you are not fully utilizing your hip extension to bring your heel in. To improve your psoas flexibility, work on that first, not pull your heel in as close to your butt at the moment. Incrementally pull it closer as you improve your back hip flexor flexibility. Hope that helps! Good luck with your training ❤
@@stretchitapp Thank you for answering me so fast, thank you 🥰.
So, my priority would be the psoas (so also all hip flexors)? I'm already doing strengthening and active lunges so i think i'm starting well (i hope so 🤣).
But you know what happened now? I saw your message and i thought that i should give it a try, i did it again and both my back legs this time didn't cramp...what the? I only sensed a sort of cramp in the middle but only when i lift them too high, but a thing completely different than 2 days ago, i'm confused 🤣. I'm still surprised because i have never done it right and this time it happened o.o.
@@dancingintime Thank you for sharing! We are happy to hear this 😊Yes, psoas flexibility should be the priority at this time. Good luck with your training! ❤
