[mouse_3k]

Can you do the splits? I cant do it all the way. NE one have ne Tips to do the splits. I have to do this dance that requires the splits and I haveta learn >_<

Tips please

[Levy2k6]

i cant but thats good... im not that flexible.

[silver-rain]

i cant but thats good... im not that flexible.

haha, same here. i can almost do a split, but i'm not flexible enough to do a full one.

[cmgchica717]

I use to be a cheerleader and I use to be able to do the splits to the left, right, and center. My coach would come behind us and push us down gently while we were in the splits stance. Try having someone do that. It will hurt but eventually you will get it.

[LeSLiE]

I can't... I used to though.. when I was about 6 or 7 cuz I was a dancer. I don't remember how I did it, haha. I was really flexible back then.. Not anymooore

[jennyjenny]

I would like to see a guy do a split. It must hurt like hell.

But nope, I can't do a split. I'm not that flexible. But this girl can. Actually, I think everyone that does gymnastics can.

[sunissed14127]

I could do them all the way in 3rd grade...
unfortunately, i'm not that flexable anymore...
i can do them a little more than half way lol.

[LeSLiE]

My friend can do the splits, and he's a guy. He's in some professional cheerleading thing..

[angel-roh]

I'm really bad at splitting haha I can't even reach to the bottom. Cause I don't really exercise.

I think seon ho can do the split

[br0ken smile]

yep, i used todo gymnastics

[crashingg]

i agree w/ cmgchica717 .. thats how i used to do them. it took a while for me though. it hurts at first, but after PRACTICE it'll be fun and u'll be doing splits everyday!
i havent done a split in over a year *tries it ... OUCH!*

[xj_liana_tx]

i can do a front split, i can't really do a center split but when i do spread eagle it comes off naturally, all you can do is just stretch everyday

[xsweetxcandyx]

i used to do them.... but not anymore... i prolly could if i tried.. i used to be in gymnastic.. just relax and do then slowly

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

I used to do the splits back when i took dance but i can't do them anymore

[*mona lisa*]

i wish i could do them. i can go almost all the way though. but do what others are suggesting. do it every day and you'll get used to it. good luck!

[tooeffingcrazy]

I can't even touch my toes. I only go up to my knee, which is really pathetic. I am not even close to being flexible, so i can't do the splits. It looks like it hurts though. ><

[inthemudhole]

Eh. I could when I was in gymnastics.. never the FULL splits, though.. Oh well.

[mouse_3k]

haha yah im trying to do a front split. I've been stretching and trying to split for like a week. At least I see myself get lower ^.^ still needa learn to actually go down on the floor >_<

[aznxdreamer]

my dance teacher makes us sit in front of the wall in a split position(or almost split position) and then she pushes as hard as she can on our butt so our legs are being forced into the splits. painful. yes. but i guess it works if you do it everysingle days. try it with your worst enemy.

[weirdness]

ahaha i wish i could.

[s0pnayish]

I can't do it, but there's this one guy in my 3rd period that can and also put his legs behind his head and start doing push up from that position.

[*stephinika*]

i can do front splits either way and i'm about 1 inch off the ground for centre splits. i do a lot of dance so yeah..but all you can really do is stretch and practice often y'know? it takes time, but you'll get it eventually.

[jr0h]

lol i used to when i was a gymnastic freak. but too bad i cant anymore. lost all my flexibility!

[sharerol]

Haha, my uncle was telling me a story of when he was in high school. This guy was pretending to do a split, and this other guy smacked him hard on the back, and he ended up doing a split. A hard one. Rofl. Anyways, no, I cannot do a full split.

[juliar]

go as far as you can go without hurting yourself today.
tomorrow, go a little further.
gradullary go farther until you've done a split. we don't want you to stretch anything.

[Euphoria Rose]

I wish I could. But I'm not that flexible enough.

[kellyannie]

I used to be able to when I was in gymnastics... I won't even attempt it now.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

I tried to do one last week. I think my crotch fell off...

[INSOMNIA]

go in a split stance lean back until your butt touches the ground then reach forword and ask someone to hold yor thighs with their feet and pull your hands forword. sounds complicated but it is actually very simple

[shortiiex]

i can't do spilts but i can bend my back all the way down and i can do a front flip

[miszkristinexox]

hahha i cant do the splits for crap

[jaeman]

I can't do the splits, I don't even try to.

[miss barnes]

go as far as u can every day..and eventually u will get all the way

yea thats really how i did it. i'm in power tumbling and when i first started everyone in my group could do them. so i went home & went as far as i could everyday until i did them and ive been doing them ever since

[*jooleeah*]

Haha, i knew how to do a split in third grade xD but i'm close right now.

[*Azarel*]

I can't do the splits anymore. |= Not flexible enough.

[dani41790]

i can do the splits all the way. i learned by just trying to do them alot till i was able to.

[Jinjah]

I almost can do it

[melancholy]

no....ouch!

[m&m]

T.T i can barely stretch.
aha in gymnastics we were doing these routines for p.e (compulsory god damnit) i jus did all these simple jumps and crap. there was this guy hu was liek really small and stretchy. he was doing his routine and he jumped and did the splits midair and landed ON THE SPLITS!!
we're all like oouch .,. but he was like .. fine.

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I don't think I can do them anymore. I used to be able to when I used to dance. I'm sure I can do them if I stretch really good first.

[sweetdreamsx3]

I've never been able to. *adds to new year's resolution* lol. :P

[iheartsimba]

all da way, every way =]



splits arn't that hard. all you need is to stretch everyday


9.5 inches on sit and reach *not to brag or anything* =p

[*x____duckii*]

Ehh, nope, I can't. I'm not flexible at all.

[WhiteLotus*]

I was SO close to doing one. Dammit. It hurt. >.<

Anywho, do a lot of leg stretches. It will help your flexibility!

[RandomHero]

I tried to in kindergarden & let's just say it didn't work out

[X___TotalBlondne...]

Yea.... i can do the splits.... not center... but i can do left and right.... right i can put my heal on a stair and go down.... witch is technically more then the splits... but like the way i got to do that is by trying every single day.... stetching then trying then stretching then trying and so on for like an hour... EVERY day....

[ANG33ZY]

No, I can't.

[xxruinedsoulxx]

i can't do splits.

[whomps]

My sister that's 9 years old than me is closer to doing the splits than me. Way closer.

[HelloSunshine]

hehe yes, yes, i can I took ballet since i was 5 and was a cheerleader last year, but anyhoo, stretch alot like everynight, especially your hamsting yep yep good luck with that!!

[KissMe2408]

yah i used to have to do them all the time for cheerleading. Basically it takes time and patience...and of course, streching...like if you're watching a movie, you should stretch while your watching it...just keep stretching and practicing and stuff...

[Jollibee]

nope.

[mz anita xP]

i've tried, and well i cant go all the way lol

[Gypsy Eyes]

I can! Basically if you want to learn how to do a split, just stretch you legs for like 30 minutes, then go down as far as you can until it hurts, then just keep doing that everyday. Thats how my friend learned

[roberts_pink_dru...]

Haha, when i was 4-8 i used to be in gymnastics and i could do all these awesome tricks but, know i'm like.. how the hell do you do a cartwheel?

[mouse_3k]

yah I remember I can do everything with I was little...not im tall and non-flexible. sucks..>_< still practicing and at least i see some progress

[Shattered_Hope]

I wish I could do a split. *rofl* meh, then again I never tried..

[Flaunted]

i was able too back when i was a little kid and now i can't.
i wish i was flexible again.

[rustedxemotions]

i can do the splits. i always stretch out before. im into gymnastics & quite flexible, so that helps. i easy myself down in the beginning. it works. haha. good luck getting all the way down!

[gwbabe04]

Yea I am not at all flexible..I wish I could be flexible but Im not...

[Wishful_Dream]

no.. i wish i could though.. x.x"

[toodlepops.]

i can't do them. but my friend can. i dunno keep practicing?

[[4]eternity]

Nope, i think i'mma stretch and rip my pants... LMAO

[imenlightened]

a couple years ago, my friend tried to do one in jeans. she split them up the middle. it was horrid. i never attempted to do one after that.

[chippy]

i used to b pretty close to it whenn i was in karate but i got injured for a while and just stop trying and basically no i just cant do it for now not that its imposible or nuthin cuz itz not

[dahding]

my friend tried to do a split. until someone shoved him.

he went to the hospital cause something er..ripped shall we say.


*twitch* the poor brother from another mother.

[FLIPxADDICTION]

when i was like eight i could. i'm getting old.....

[snak3y3z1001]

if u asked me this 10 years ago the answer would have been yes

[heyyfrankie]

i can't! xP

and if you want to do them, sit on 5 pillows for 30 minutes a day for a week. (sit in "split" position) and then the next week, sit on 4 pillows. (still in "split" position) and then the next week, 3 pillows and 2 and then 1 and then you will eventually get to none!

that worked for my sister because she is on the drill team.

good luck!

[sandy_lumpy_shor...]

strech all the time

[EmmalieV]

nah then my pelvis starts hurting.

[SMUSHiENESS]

i can almsot go all the way. `bout 3 more inches. some dude in my class can jump and then go down on the floor splitting his legs. its amazing 0.0
my friend takes tai kwon doe (i have no idea how to spell) they push down her when she does one. geez talk about pressure...

[pAtRiCk_sTar]

no, but if you practice at least for 10 minutes every week or better yet a couple times a week, you'll start getting more flexible doing the splits and you'll be able to do it one day. i almost got it, but i forgot to practice

[justalanna]

I used to be able to do one, but not anymore. I'm just not that flexible anymore, lol.

[Spud]

Me doing the splits would be like, I don't know.

But it would be bad. lol.

[perfectxflaw23]

Yes, but not quite so easily anymore. I can feel is pull a little. I don't really know about the advice part, I've been doing them since I was little. I think the younger you are, the easier. Maybe just try pushing yourself to go down a bit further?

[xXYouMeBedNowXx]

no...something drastic would happen if I tried.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

ahha i kan do the splits. all the way down. and i can bend over backwards like ciara ! cept i can go lower and walk. lol. im really flexible. guys love it lol.

it hurts but just get down into the stance and keep on sliding sideways or forwards [whichever way you have to go ] and have someone push down until you kan do it by yurself. it`ll hurt but eventually it`ll be easyy.

[kokosofly]

I know how to. Just stretch your legs every day, and go into your split (as much as you can do) and hold it for about 10-20 seconds and it should improve the more you do it.

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

my sister was the dance team. what she do is when she do the splits and she cant go all the way, she stretch. hope u know what i mean. it's like doing the splits and stretching at the same time but not all the way. and what i meant by stretching is just go a lil lower each time u do the splits but dont go all the way down...just a lil lower and later on, u'll be able to do the splits! hehehe

sorry if it was confusing

[cocoalightning27]

hey hey, I'm wondering, if your a guy and you do the splits but your not very flexible, wouldn't your balls rip open?......not to disgust anyone or :?

[cherry_lemon_ice]

well i cant do my chinese but...tips for getting there is doing alot of butterfly stretches.

[becomingAWARE]

NO. :[
im very extremely not flexible.

hahaha. i swear im cool.

[to-devastate]

i used to know how to do splits. i use to take ballet. but not anymore.

[Mireh]

i can't even touch my toes

[yukichan]

I would like to see a guy do a split. It must hurt like hell.

lol...probably..
i cant do the splits....im not flexable enough...

[toodlepops.]

I can't do splits.
You can't actuallly learn them during your teens.
You hafta practice from small. XD

[william]

most definitely not. i've been told i'm "as flexible as uncooked spaghetti".

[Ballpointpencil]

I use to be a cheerleader and I use to be able to do the splits to the left, right, and center.  My coach would come behind us and push us down gently while we were in the splits stance.  Try having someone do that.  It will hurt but eventually you will get it.

Shouldn't have someone push you do unless they know what they are doing. It can cause serious damage without you even knowing it. Personally, I'd rather just work enough on flexibility to be able to do them without help.

Which incidentally, getting back to the core topic, I can. Not as easily as when I was a gymnast, but I can still get down all the way. Sideways is easier, for me.

Tips for doing splits? Work on being flexible with conditioning and stretching exercises. Always warm up before doing anything, and don't hurt yourself.

Have fun. ^_^

[Ballpointpencil]

...I taught my friend Melissa how to do splits when she was 14...

[rx_azngirl]

HECK no lol splits are soo hard to do i'm not that flexible anyway

[Teesa]

wow, I have tried so many times. And I always fail. Haha, I wish I could do the splits though.

[fl1p_cal1_boii]

used tu be able tu do the splits back in my childhood but after i quit kung fu, i was helluh stiff but i can still reach my toes...

[huggznkisses]

i can go all the way down but that is just flexibility that i am born with... practice the splits everyday, while ur watching tv, while u rnt doing anything xceptsitting around practice and just push urself to where it hurts just a lil and hold it there. while u r holding it there try to relax as much as possible until u r comfterble with being that little bit closer. do that again and again until u r all the way down. i no a couple more i can tell u if that doesnt work. email me at either thePINKspongebobROX@gmail.com or spongyb_ROXmySOX@yahoo.com

[MeLoNiSyUmMy]

Yea, I do pointe ballet and it requires flexibility..A LOT of it..

[tinababy143]

i sure can =D i can do left, right and middle..haha..i was a cheerleader for 8 years..so yeah..just stretch a little bit everyday and you`ll get it..its not that hard really..

[parallel]

Well..I go to gymnastics and we have to do the splits so ya..for tips just do a lot of stretching in your legs and that area and each day carry yourself down farther (to the ground) and if you feel pain in your legs and such then that's how you know it's working! It can be painful..but yeah..it's worth it if you want to be flexible and stuff..just don't hurt yourself lol Good luck!

[gelionie]

You need years to be able to do it... not just a few days or weeks.
I never and can't do it. My body is pretty stiff.

[lilxroxy]

omang. someone teach me.

[jenika]

i used to be almost able to do them but now...so not flexible...
