Is this stretch dangerous?

[Jess :)]

Hey everybody, i have a small question on a stretch.. This may be hard to explain- so, sorry if it makes no sense!

 

Okay, so some people have told me that doing this stretch is dangerous, but others have told me that it's great for second splits etc..

The stretch goes like this;

You lie stomach down, with your legs out in a " frog position" so that your legs are at a right angle to your body. And bent at the knees.

I was just wondering if anybody knows if this stretch IS safe to do, or if I should not be doing it at all..?

Oh, and if the stretch doesn't make any sense- then just say and I will stry and descibe it better!

 

Thanks again!

You have described it well enough. This is not a recommended stretch. Yes, it is dangerous.

Okay great, thanks very much.. I certainly wont be using that stretch anytime soon!

 

It does worry me that there are so many dangerous stretches, that so many people do becuase they don't know any better.

 

I just wanted to check this one out- thanks!
