🩰 WE DID IT! 3 WEEKS COMPLETE! 🎉💕

What a fantastic three weeks of stretching, commitment and consistency! 💪✨

We hope you’ve enjoyed taking part in our 3-Week Splits Challenge and, most importantly, that you’ve noticed some progress along the way.

Maybe you’re closer to the floor, your kicks feel a little looser or higher, or you simply feel more flexible — every little improvement counts! ❤️

📸 FINAL CHALLENGE:
Take your final photo in the same position as your Week 1 photo and compare your progress!

We’d LOVE to see your before & afters, so send them to us or tag Diane Bradbury Dance. 🥰

Remember, flexibility is a journey, not a race — so keep stretching and keep dancing! 🩰💙

Well done, dancers! We’re so proud of you all! 👏✨

🩰 WEEK 3 — THE FINAL STRETCH! 💕✨

We’ve made it to the final week of our 3-Week Splits Challenge! 🎉

This week we’re focusing on the butterfly stretch, helping to work on flexibility through the inner thighs and hips.

And now it’s time to bring everything together! 💪

🩰 Week 1 — Hip Flexor Stretch
🩰 Week 2 — Single-Leg Hamstring Stretch
🦋 Week 3 — Butterfly Stretch

Try to keep all three as part of your stretching routine this week. Consistency is key! Even a little bit of stretching regularly can help you make progress. ✨

📸 FINAL CHALLENGE!
Wait until the end of this week and take another photo in the same position as your Week 1 photo and compare the two.

Have you moved closer to the floor? Are your legs straighter? Do you feel more flexible?

Whatever your progress, be proud of it! ❤️

Remember — don’t bounce, don’t force and never stretch into pain. Warm up first and keep everything gentle.

We’d LOVE to see your before & after photos next Sunday, so send them to us or tag Diane Bradbury Dance! ❤️

Ready… set… STRETCH! 🩰✨

🩰 WEEK 2 OF OUR 3-WEEK SPLITS CHALLENGE! 💕

How did you get on with Week 1? Have you been keeping up with your stretching? 👀

This week we’re adding a single-leg hamstring stretch to help improve flexibility through the back of the legs — an important area when working towards your front splits.

Remember, we’re not looking for perfection! Small improvements are still improvements. ✨

💪 Keep up your Week 1 hip flexor stretch
🩰 Add this week’s hamstring stretch
⏱️ Hold for 20–30 seconds, twice on each side
🚫 No bouncing or forcing — stretching should never be painful

And most importantly…

COMMITMENT + CONSISTENCY = PROGRESS! 💙

Keep going, dancers! We can’t wait to see your Week 2 progress photos! 📸💕 Send them to us in private or tag us if you prefer!! It’s best to take your photo in the same place and same position to really show off your progress.

🩰 THE 3-WEEK SPLITS CHALLENGE STARTS NOW!

Can you improve your splits in just 3 weeks? 👀

We’re challenging our Diane Bradbury dancers to work on their flexibility and see how much progress they can make!

And remember… this isn’t about being able to do the splits straight away. It’s about getting a little bit closer than you were before. 💪✨

WEEK 1 STRETCH: THE HIP FLEXOR STRETCH

This is a great stretch for the front of your hip and thigh – the part of your body that needs to open up when you’re working towards your front splits.

Here’s how to do it:

🧘‍♀️ Kneel on one knee.

🦶 Put your other foot flat on the floor in front of you.

⬆️ Keep your body tall – imagine someone is pulling you upwards from the top of your head!

➡️ Gently move your hips forwards.

You should feel a gentle stretch down the front of the leg that’s kneeling.

Hold for:

20–30 seconds

Then swap legs and repeat.

👉 Try 2 times on each side.

⭐ IMPORTANT!

A stretch should feel like a pull or gentle stretch – NOT pain.

Don’t bounce, don’t force yourself lower and don’t try to push through pain.

And always warm your body up first! ❤️

📸 YOUR CHALLENGE

Take a photo of your starting position this week.

It doesn’t matter if you’re miles away from the floor!

This is YOUR starting point.

Keep your photo somewhere safe and we’ll see where you are next week and then at the end of 3 weeks! 👀

Who’s joining the challenge?

Tag us or send us your progress from the start of the week to the end of the week – we’d LOVE to see it! ❤️🖤
