Carmen Electra yanking her leg up into a splits stretch proved very well-received over the weekend. The 48-year-old model and "Baywatch" alum revisited her days on the iconic TV series via her Sunday Instagram update – Carmen, real name Tara Leigh Patrick, posted a "Baywatch Rookie School Stretch," but the former dancer's flexibility wasn't a rookie deal at all. Carmen, followed by 1.4 million and gaining followers since her appearances on "The Last Dance" this year, proved that '90s beach babe appeal hasn't gone anywhere. Check it out below.

Scroll for the photo. Carmen, recently in the news for sharing intimate shower snaps from her "Baywatch" days, starred on the series from 1997 to 1998, also returning for the 2003 reunion. The Ohio native's Sunday photo showed her on the beach and sandwiched by two males. The blonde was leaning on her co-star's arm while fully extending her right leg and holding it by her ear.
The wardrobe didn't disappoint, either. Carmen was flaunting her killer abs in a spandex pair of black Adidas shorts with a tiny matching crop top.

Keep scrolling for more photos. Carmen, seemingly focused on her stretch and delivering it very well, then took to her caption.
"Happy Sunday ? Stretching 4 Baywatch Rookie School ?♂️ #baywatch #dancer @baywatch_tv," she wrote.
Carmen took under five minutes to bring in the fire emoji – then again, this star saw her Pornhub searches spike from 1,500 per day to 1.7 million after the ESPN-aired "The Last Dance" brought her detailing having sex "all over" the Chicago Bulls court with ex-husband Dennis Rodman.

Carmen fronted media outlets in the spring for her candid sex life reveal as she detailed her brief marriage to former NBA player Dennis Rodman.
"It was crazy, like two kids in a candy store. We were eating Popsicles from the fridge and pretty much having sex all over the damn place—in the physical therapy room, in the weight room. Obviously on the court. ... " she told LA Times: "To be honest, I don’t think he’s ever worked out so hard in his life."

Carmen has spoken out about her audition days as she replaced Canadian-born bombshell Pamela Anderson on "Baywatch."
"I walked into the audition and David Hasselhoff and everyone is sitting there. I’m just standing, nervously smiling, trying to do the best I can," she stated, adding:
"The next question, ‘will you go put this red swimsuit on?’ I was in shock because at the time, I was shooting with MTV and I didn’t shave my legs.”
Carmen has admitted that life changed "overnight" for her after joining the beach-set series, although she did confess to being massively nervous over the audition.
