I Want To Do The Splits!?

396545382 When I was younger I was able to do splits and everything because I was in gymnastics, but then I broke my leg when i was like 8 and i quit gymnastics but I really want to get my flexibility back, I'm 13 and I want to start with my right splits I know it will take a while. So if anyone haves and stretches and tips for me I would really appreciate it!! Thank! :D

  1. Andrea mia David - I know it sounds crazy. Have your splits down in three weeks when you’re still two feet off the ground? It’s possible, but you just need the time to commit to this. Before you read this, I’ll warn you that it sounds like a TON of time, but think about it . . . you want your splits, right? Why don’t you just get them now so that you don’t waste time thinking about how far from the ground you are? How long have you been trying to get those darn splits down? A year, perhaps two? Three weeks is not bad at all. So, let’s get started:To start off, I’ll leave you this: Stretch where you feel comfortable, but not distracted. An area with a computer, for instance, might be a bad location, because you may be tempted to go on the internet and surf, which destroys your focus and stops your flexibility from improving. Focus and stretch as if you were meditating.

  2. Tara S - Stretch everyday but when you start, stretch for a short amount of time, then stretch more and more everyday. You can try yoga, or look up stretches on youtube to help get you started. When you stretch take deep breaths when it starts to hurt, it helps. But you don't get your splits as you as you start stretching, it can take time depending on how flexible you.
