if i start stretching everyday, will i be able to possibly do the splits in a year? and to kick higher? i don't think it's possible, but could it happen? any good routines or workouts i should do? i posted in Sports because i'm planning to tryout for dance or cheer next year and i need to be able to do these things.

Hold into something about waist height and kick as high as you can. Make sure both legs are straight, and knees locked. Keep your back straigt up. Make sure your foot is pointed. If you need this for dance, let me know (pm me) because with dance there are a lot more technical things you have to make sure of when you're kicking.

Are you trying to get your back kicks higher?

Mona- You should stretch everyday. In dance when we don't stretch for even a day we lose a little bit of flexibility.

My Exercise Science teacher had warned my class not to stretch every day for the reasons I mentioned. For dance, though, it's a bit different. tongue.gif
