What stretches are you doing?

mostly just sitting in the splits in a hot tub for 3 minutes then resting then sitting again for 3 minutes.

Yes Kwajman I can assume full side and front splits only if I am thoroughly warmed up and stretched.
And as I've mentioned many times I owe it all to Kurz's method of Stretching Scientifically.
