So we’re another week into July, and I’m going to share my week 2 of my #JourneytoSplits progress (see my July goals for details).

First let’s look at a comparison of the five foundation stretches, which I’m completing everyday.

Foundation Stretch 1

Foundation Stretch 2

Foundation Stretch 3

Foundation Stretch 4

Foundation Stretch 5

In some of these, I don’t think the progress is as visible as what I’m feeling…such as being able to rest my head on my knee for more time in stretches 2 and 3. It’s amazing what 10 minutes each day will do.

In addition to these five every day, here are the additional poses.

Day 8

Day 9 – Garland Pose

Day 10 

Day 11

Day 12

Day 13 – Seated Forward

Compare it to my seated forward on Day 10 of  #TheStretchProject.

Day 14

With a few of these, I was really surprised that I was able to hold the stretch for a full minute; Day 14, for example, was no joke. I can feel my abs getting stronger.

And I have a bonus photo for you; the Mister getting kisses from Paige while he was doing his stretches.
