    My gymnastics teacher said to me if you get your middle splits for next lesson I'll buy you McDonald's because she loves having jokes with us so I came home that Tuesday night and I was about an inch of the floor by Friday!! She was absolutely shocked and get this I got
    A medium coke
    Large fries
    A big mac with extra lettuce
    A mcflurry
    AND A SUGAR DOHNUT
    She asked how I did it and I showed her your channel so now every lesson she teaches she does YOUR workout routines!!

But, I want to let you know that your videos inspire and motivate me into working out and stretching out more. As well as, push my limits and boundaries to do what I want. I, especially, like your recent videos, sharing more of your week, as well as, how you struggle, as well, to achieve your goals, which, helps me and probably everyone relate to you more than ever.

    Oh my gosh, yes, rest your hips! Most people forget to come out of hard hips stretches, and then complain when their hips start acting up later. THANK YOU for at least showing yourself resting your hips! I know it sounds weird, but you'd be surprised how many just go from one stretch to another without giving their body a short reprieve in between.

    5 years ago I did rhythmic gymnastics for 2 years. We stretched for splits and practiced other moves. A year after I stopped, I continued to stretch on my own, but I wasn't using any instruction. Just what I had learned from class. After lots of stretching and pain and not seeing any progress, I stopped stretching altogether. It's been two years, and now here I am. This is my fourth day in a row doing Alivia's leg, hip, and back stretching videos. I haven't made much progress, but I'm not giving up. I have wanted to get my splits since forever ago, but only recently I have found the diligence to actually do it. Thank you so much Alivia!

I sincerely have you to thank for that 💖.

      You should NOT be experiencing pain while learning to do the splits! Listen to your body. You could seriously injure yourself or someone else with this advice. Have patience instead of needing instant gratification. Comparing yourself to others doesn't do any good, either.

    I did this early today, and I just wanted to say that this helped me so much! At the very end, I was just about to come out of my middle splits because I could feel the pain. But your motivation helped me be determined to carry on. I feel so much more confident in my middle splits now. Thank you Alivia😊💗

    Rant incoming:
    So I have this hip codnition called DDH, which disables me from doing things like gymnastics (specifically the splits and certain stretches). It's now always been something I really want to achieve, being more flexible. I have tried SO many stretches, and now, I'm not perfect, but I have a pretty good bridge, handstand and false splits (idk what they're called, so I made that name, I put my front leg bent underneath me instead of straight in front of me) so yeah. My hips and back are the only place that I'm really not flexible, but I love dancing and I do hope to get much stronger, and more flexible!

      Oh! I think you're doing what's called Pigeon! It's a splits stretch where you're in the splits position but your front leg is bent and underneath you and your back leg is straight right? I L-O-V-E that stretch!

    Thanks Alivia! This really helped me to get my middle, front spilts and straddle. I knew that spilts is not only used for flexibility. But I can also use this for my Taekwondo. Through this video, I was able to kick higher and more powerful. BTW I watch your workout vids. At first, I was 55 kg. But after one month of working out( using your videos), I was able to weigh 40kg! Thanks again alivia!

    I know this has been a long time ago and you don't dance as much anymore I think, but I'm starting this, and then other videos you did. I thought I was flexible for it to not hurt as much, but I was wrong. The pain seemed unbearable and all I wanted to do was stop and give my body peace. But the way you were coaching and what you were saying made me think that I wasn't the only one in pain, and If so many other people can do it, so can I. I only just started dancing and I am 14 years old, too late to start, but not too late to give up. Thank you Alicia for all you have done, to help me and to give me hope.
    Love, Jada
