How To Do The Splits?

How long will it take me to get into side splits?

• I really want to learn to do the splits , how long would it take me to get down into the splits if i practise splits exercises every day? and 1 more thing when i try to go into splits my back knee stops me from going down how can i stop this? thank you

• Answer:

  I am a dancer myself so I would know information about this. I am learning to go into the splits so I have experience. Here are some videos for the splits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpaaqwavxPY Even if you find these hard practise makes perfect! If you find these exercises boring then do this, I am starting to do the box splits whilst watching tv or reading a book, it's more enjoyable. Don't forget to warm up before doing it because if you don't then you can pull a muscle. Good Luck!
