Other names of exercise Pool splits
Description of exercise Pool splits exercise is a variation of the traditional splits stretch that is performed in a pool. This exercise involves sitting in the shallow end of a pool with your legs extended in a straddle position. Then, using the buoyancy of the water, you slowly lower your body towards the bottom of the pool, allowing your legs to spread further apart. This helps to increase flexibility and range of motion in the hips, groin, and inner thigh muscles. The water also provides resistance, making the stretch more challenging and effective. Pool splits exercise is a low-impact and gentle way to improve flexibility and can be beneficial for athletes, dancers, and anyone looking to increase their overall flexibility.
