Question

I realli need help and people please no stupid comments cause i realli want to learn and my mother says that the only way i can do gymnastics is if i learn to do a split!!!

Answer 1

I know it burns, but everyday, you must push a little further than the last. Its all about improvement. Just take a deap breath in, hold it a few seconds and exhale. It relaxes me if I listen to soft relaxing songs on my ipod while i stretch, it makes it enjoyable for me.

I know you can do it :) just remember to push harder everyday!

edit-  try doing the butterfly stretch. (where you spread your legs but touch the bottoms of your feet together and touch you nose, or as far as you can go down, to the ground) stretching those muscles will help you get those few inches to the ground! Make sure and stretch and warm your muscles up good before you do the splits!

Answer 2

i try the same things and still no split same thing just search it out on google.com

Answer 3

That is not the only way to learn gymnastics... i went 2 years in gymnastics with no splits. But just keep doing what your doing and try putting your foot up on a book or somthing it helps alot. And hold it as long as you can.

Answer 4

First Learn how to spell. If you 13 well thats pretty sad that you spell like that.

About the splits.

Warm up.

So. Sit on the floor with your legs out and put your head flat on one leg and reach for you feet. Put you feet together in front of you and hold them and put your head to the ground.

Then try.

And try both way like a leg to the front and one to the back

and side by side.

Answer 5

Well you have to stretch the correct muscles or it wont do any good.... mostly your thighs... the back and the front of them.... you also have to hold each stretch for AT LEAST 40 seconds or it does no good at all...
