Do stretches each day with your legs, over time you will gain flexibility.  It is not something that will happen overnight.

Do not try and do them to soon as you will strain yourself.  Dont get frustrated not many people can do the splits.

Answer 20

I'm a dancer/gymnast, I have been since I was three. My advice is dont force yourself, and DEFINATELY stretch first or you'll be feeling it a lot worse later on. Practise a little each day with stretches and eventually you'll be able to do the splitz while finishing your work. (Yes, I have done that!)

Answer 22

You should start slowly by stretching, and doing partial splits. trying to get down that low all at once will damage your muscles possibly tearing them. That is if it is possible for you to get down there now. A stretching program willensure that you make it all the way down there eventually though. Practice and patience!

Answer 23

lmao...no, i cant. but ur Q reminded me of a funny moment in skool today. we were playin some ultimate frisbee and i tiped a pass so it fell short of the intended receiver. it landed on the ground and continued to skid in his general direction. he tried to put his foot in its way to stop it, by sort of lunging. instead his foot landed on top of it...and it kept on skidding...making him do a split! lmao...what makes it funnier is that he cant normally do a split. he ok now though :P

Answer 24

The answer is.  You don't do the splits.  What if you get stuck like that for the rest of your life?  

How will you ever pee in the toilet?

How will you ever go to your high school prom?

How will you ever do a handstand?

How will you ever take a shower in your own bathroom?

How will you ever be a New York city Rockette?

How will you ever slam dunk a basketball?

You seriously need to think about these things before you try to do the splits.

Answer 25

i found that pilates really helped me to get the splits. Just stretch everyday and should kind of hurt so you get an effect but not too much otherwise you could do damage

Answer 26

do some strentches and then everyday hold ur split as far as u can go down for a min.  sooon u will have them.
