Question

How can i make myself flexible to do splits?

Answer 1

Depends, front or sideways.  Frontwards takes about 3 months, you basically put your legs out like you would do splits, then go down untill you feel tight tension.  Hold for as long as you can, then release.  Then switch legs, and do it again.  For sideways, same way, legs out and go as far as you can and hold.  Another way would be to use a ladder, and as your leg gets flexible keep putting it a step up.

Answer 2

Yoga works wonders, honestly.

but i recommend while your sitting there watching tv just start stretching and pulling your legs up and etc.  

Answer 3

Stretch stretch stretch.

Yoga and Pilates classes help (not DVDs).

Stretch some more.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Buy a copy of The Art of Stretching and Kicking By James Lew.

I trained using it 2hrs a day and after 6mths could do the box splits way back in 1982 .
