well i can assure you it is not going to happen over night. what you have to do is just try to do the split, after you do heal streches. or just follow this film.

Answer 2

Get into a lunge postion and turn your front foot out. Put your elbows on the ground, and try to get the top of you thigh to the ground while keeping your turned out foot fully on the ground. This excercise will open up your hips, which will make it easier to do you splits. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

there are actually a number of ways to get your left split

which will also help your right, strattle, and high kicks.1) get into your left split and hold it there for a 10 count. continue to push it every time you get into it. 2) pick one of the 3 splits (any) and place one leg on the floor and elevate the other leg about 3-5 inches off the ground on a mat, books, anything. push on your split that you are in and this will help stretch other muscles and will help with all splits. do this in all 3 splits and switch out legs to elevate. this will also help to over extend your right split that already have. 3) stand in a wide open 4th position and lean forward stretching your inner muscles. you can then lunge forward to stretch out more.

these stretches will also help with the flexibility of the high kicks. try your high kicks on releve'. and the main key to a great high kick is leg strength. find exercises that help strengthen your legs.

and always remember to turn your feet out, rotate your hips out, lock in your knees, tuck in your buns, and stretch out of your back. :)

Answer 5

Sit with your legs as wide apart as you can go (box splits position) and keep your back straight.  Then place your hands on either side of your left leg and swivel your hips into the left split position.  If you can't turn all the way around it doesn't matter just as long as you keep your torso and hips facing the same direction.  If you keep trying you will get there sooner than you may think.

Answer 6

Hold your left split for a minute and a half each day. This will improve your flexibility to help you with your split and kicks. Also practice holding your leg up to the front, side, and back to improve the muscles in your legs so that your kicks will become higher. You can also lay on your back and practice whacking your legs up to your face (keeping the rest of your body in the correct position) so that you know what it should feel like to do higher kicks.

Good luck and hope this helps!!!
