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?

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. |

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.

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

QUOTE(cmgchica717 @ Jan 13 2005, 6:23 PM) 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. ^_^ |

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

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!

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. |
