If ur 20 or older can u still do the splits if u never done them before? just curiosity?

Question

i am 14 and i can do the splits but i am just wondering if someone when they are 20 or older try to do them and stretch everyday could they become able to do them or not or would it take a really long time or is it possible to like hurt them or something?

i am just really curious about this lol

Answer 1

I am more than twice that and I still can if I stretch out.

Answer 2

of course it will just take a while

Answer 3

It would probably hurt because you aren't used to doing it, but if you stretch and practice every day at it, it's definately possible.

Answer 4

While I am not a phys ed instructor, I do not believe that 20 is too late. However, I would think that the earlier one starts, the less difficult time they will have.

Answer 5

Well if they are in good shape and are healthy and flexible, I think that it is possible! Hope that helps! :)

Answer 6

its possible, but it depends on the person physical abilitys

Answer 7

Sure. I'm 37 years old, and 27 weeks pregnant, and can still do the splits. I've always exercised and include stretching with my work outs. I have to admit, though, the farther along I get in this pregnancy the more difficult it is to achieve a split. I probably won't do it much longer, but will begin stretching exercises again after I deliver.
