Answer 5

sometimes you are able to do it just by stretching more... normally that works for the left and right split, but some people (like me) can stretch everyday for their middle split and never get it.  I have been working on it for a very long time and I went to a dance therapist and she said that most people have a point where their hips don't turn out anymore and that is where your middle split will end.  Mine is only a few inches off, but it still bothers me.  

All you can do is stretch and stretch, but after that you just have to let your body be how it is.  the reason little kids are able to get all the way down sometimes is because their bones haven't developed and hardened all the way so they can force their hips a bit more.

Good luck!!!!

Answer 7

no it is not impossible .you can learn the front split easy but it takes some time. place your favorite foot on the floor and bring your leg on your knee.stay for 15 seconds .then that with your other foot.than slowly do a split.for the other split slowly spread your legs and keep spreading until you do a split

Answer 8

They just need to stretch more. It comes easily for others, and harder for others though. We are all different.

Answer 9

you need to practice, practice. some people just aren't as flexible...not sure if it's really impossible. just remember to stretch always so you're muscles are warmed up and you don't hurt yourself.

peace :) and good luck!

You need to strech an aweful lot more !

If you keep practicing the splits you will find that gradually you will be able to stretch further and further over time

over a long time though
