So these are the 5 beginner stretching excercises which will take you closer to your goal.

Make sure you warm up the body before starting stretching excercises because it will help in smooth strecthing. The warm up can include skipping rope, jumping jack, free squats until you sweat.

3) Downward dog stretch- 01:00 min

4) Standard sitting hamstring stretch left and right- 01:00 min/leg.

5) Butterfly pose- 01:30 min

6) Split forward pose- 01:00 min

This excercise will take max 10 minutes to complete and it can be done after legs workout and also to achieve split faster, this excercise can be done thrice a week or on daily basis. You will only be needing a yoga mat. If you do this regularly you will be able to see the result in a month and the split form will get better.

If the body is stiff you will feel pain while stretching but try to push yourself and hold on to the position for a given time. By pushing yourself the stiffed muscle will get relax and flexibility will increase as you push yourself harder. Remember to push yourself till you can bear the pain, don't go beyond that or else it might end up in injury.

If you have jont pain, or you feel instant pain while strectching then back off and continue only after the pain is relieved.
