Is it possible to learn how to do the splits?

Splits??? I need to learn how to do the splits in 1 week!!

  • I just want to learn how to do the basic splits NOT the middle splits!

  • Answer:

    Start out by stretching in the split position as far down as you can go. Make sure you feel a bit of pulling, that means you're making progress. Go down little by little on both sides, everyday. Set a goal for how much you can stretch out everyday. If you work hard, you'll be able to do the splits in a week! It's best to stretch in the morning after you wake up. It's hardest to stretch then, and you'll be flexible for the rest of the day :) Good luck!

You are going to need to stretch a little every day but don't rush into getting your splits all the way down the first day because you can really pull a muscle or injure yourself. Always stretch before doing the splits. Set a goal each day to get a little further. I am a former gymnast and what helps a lot is if you elevate your front foot on something (like a stair) and it will help a lot. Good luck!

How fit are you now ? If you can't touch your toes from standing, and have an unusual body shape or muscular limitations, you might not be able to perform said splits. Don't overdo it, 1 week is not enough time unless you want to damage your body, possibly for life.
