(splits and stuff like that work good for stretching =g your hamstrings as well) otherwise maybe you just have to try a new way to stretch your knees. instead of thinking of locking your knees, think of pulling up from behind your knee. i dont know if this makes sense to you, but it really does help. it helps to hyper extend you knees (which is good for dance). pretty much think of pulling up from your knees, not pushing back to straighten them. if you dont get it or have other questions, email me and ill try o explain it differently/better. |
