Split Strength
with Don

Split Strength is a class where we aim to build lower body strength and mobility to achieve a front split and a side split, and also to be strong in that position. 

We will work with exercises that will greatly strengthen our legs and hip strength while opening them up simultaneously. The whole point is not to just achieve a split in a passive position, but to be able to control and use it actively.

For complete beginners, we will start with a lighter dose before progressing towards a higher intensity. We will strengthen and open up our legs and hips required for front split, side split and pancake by actively stretching, loading and holding them for time in an active position.  Pushing beyond pain is one thing we do not want, and with the right guidance, we should be able to greatly improve our strength and flexibility in our lower body. 

For advanced practitioners, we can load up further, hold for a longer period, and even go into a deeper position. The whole aim is not just to achieve splits, but to also strengthen our lower body. 

Front Split Routine - We will target muscle groups such as hip flexors, hamstrings, quads and calves both statically and dynamically.

Side Split and Pancake Routine -  We will target muscle groups such as adductors, glutes, and hamstrings both statically and dynamically.

If your goal is to achieve a split, be it front or side, this programme will help. 

But even if you do not wish to achieve a split, joining this class will still greatly benefit you as releasing tightness and gaining strength in your lower body will reduce pains in the back, hips and knees. Moving around will also feel lighter, allowing you to be more agile and mobile.

"Don stands out as an exceptional coach who really goes the extra mile for each of his trainees. He thoughtfully tailors training plans to meet the unique needs of everyone. He combines humor, sharp wit, and a knack for motivation perfectly. I always look forward to his classes and enjoy every session. Before I met Don, maintaining a steady handstand was an uphill battle. However, within a few months under his guidance, not only did my shoulder strength and confidence significantly improve, allowing me to transition smoothly between various handstand forms like the tuck, straddle, and diamond, but he also introduced me to handstand walking. Doing handstands along the stretches of the beach became a fun new skill thanks to him. Don's approach to teaching and his unwavering commitment has been instrumental in my progress. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone truly dedicated to advancing their handstand skills." - Quy
