Ease into your spring workout routine with a basic butterfly leg stretch

Whether you are still sore from you spring sport’s practice, working on your flexibility, or just taking care of your body, stretching is super important. You might think that stretching only prepares you for exercise, but it does so much more. It prevents injuries, relieves pain, improves posture, and promotes your circulation.
 

This basic gym class stretch is awesome to stretch out your hips and thighs. Here is a refresher on how to perfect this stretch:

 
While sitting on the ground, bring your feet together. Then pull them in toward your body and push your knees towards the ground. Then bring your head down to touch your toes and hold it for 20 seconds. It’s important not to bounce your knees so you don’t injure them.

Hey girlie, you're almost definitely underweight. And you're probably not consuming enough calories. Your breakfast and dinner both sound substantial enough, but you need to eat some real food for lunch. You can have a sandwich or a wrap or anything with some protein in it. If you're having trouble with your body image then you should talk to someone. You're absolutely not chubby and you need help seeing that and getting better.

I have super curly hair, wash it with curly conditioning shampoo and conditioner usually once a day, and have dandruff. What should I do to get rid if it besides switching to a dandruff shampoo?

 

Hey Daddy'sgrl12, keep your hair moisturized. Olive oil is really good for flaky scalps. Part your hair into sections, dip olive oil on your fingers and apply it to your scalp. Hydro-cortisone also helps. You can get it from CVS, Rite-Aid or the medical section in Target and Wal-Mart. It's not too expensive. Try one of those girly! Hope this helps! xoxo Smile

Hey ladies, it would be so cool if you could check out my club, Style Spy. It's all about fashion, makeup, hair, and style (duhh). We currently have two officer positions available, all you have to do is apply and it could totally be you! Thanks! <3

I do the butterfly stretch in dance all the time! I'm really close to my splits on left and pretty close on right. I don't think the butterfly stretch really helps with splits but it fells good. I do over splits which is where u over stretch in splits like putting ur leg on a higher surface. Last year I wasn't that close in splits but now im closer bc of over splits!!!
