There is no instant way to teach your body to do this trick. You have to slowly stretch out your muscles by going as far into a split position as you can without much discomfort each day, once or twice a day. Then hold that position for about 10 counts. Over time your muscles will gain flexibility. Never push yourself so that you are in pain and always warm up first with general stretches, or you could really get hurt!





People%26#039;s natural flexibility varies so don%26#039;t get discouraged if you%26#039;re not naturally a gummbie girl.

it%26#039;s not something you just learn you have to be flexible, for example I used to take ballet I started when I was 5 we had to stretch ALL the time and then after a while (I don%26#039;t remember how long it took) I could do a split (and still can) but some of the other girls took alot longer, and some of them (the skinniest ones who you would think would be able to do them) still can%26#039;t. So I suggest stretching and trying to go down more and more everday. Good Luck.
Reply:stretching is good i never knew how to do a split but i will stay in it for 1min or30 seconds and push myself frther i seen an improvement on myself next thing u know im doing a split besides ballet did pay off
Reply:Ok, this really works, i tried it and i am now able to do the splits. Everyday stretch your legs. Do the same leg stretches a few times for awhile. (To make the stretching easier, warm up your muscles by running or jogging, or maybe doing jumping jacks.) Next time, stretch your legs again, but this time see if you can go a little bit more beyond your limit from the last time you stretched. Keep doing the same thing everyday but push your limit a little farther everytime. This helped me, so it might help you too.


(Be patient, you can%26#039;t rush your body%26#039;s flexibility)
