the wall stretch wear you lay on your back with your butt on the wall with your legs spread out and you stech it out as far as possible and you have to point your toes. Trust me it will hurt and you will be sore for a while but im a cheerleader and it worked after a while.

Great stretches to do are the runners stretch and straddle. In runners stretch work everyday until you can put your elbows on the ground and see a clean line down your body. In straddle stretch to both side but do not round your back. Keep it straight so eventually you can put your chest flat you your leg. Another great stretch to do it get in a split position (right or left leg in front) and bend your front leg so that your foot is under you. Try and Bend your back leg up and grab it with your opposite hand and stretch it.

Also, when practicing your split if you are not all of the way down keep your knees completely straight so you can stretch out the muscles and tendons around your groin.

Happy Stretching!

How do you learn to do a split?

ANYONE can learn how to do the splits if they truly work at it. But before you attempt your split make sure to stretch your legs. Don't ever go into your split without stretching. Simple stretches work to, start with: touching your toes, butterfly stretch, lunges. It is very important to stretch every day, even busy people can fit stretches into their day. If you can't find much time, try to setting aside smaller times in your day like... when you wake up, while you are watching T.V. and before you go to bed. This can be just as effective. after you've warmed up you are ready to go into your splits! Start by going down as far as you can into your splits, if you are in pain pull up a little but keep a position that you are still getting a good stretch. Hold it for at least 30 seconds, preferably more but 30 is good to start out with. Don't ever force your way down into the splits. If you are not naturally flexible you might have to be patient, but if you stay with it, you'll get it. :) Good luck!


How do you do box splits?

Well box splits are a Lot harder than side splits, box splits is about the stretching in your thighs and your muscles, to do this you must stretch a Lot and go down in box splits as far as you can and sit in it for 10seconds this may occur each day/night you do it. Or.. Only stretch your legs try lifting your legs as high as you can, maybe start gymnastics and learn from them. You can't do box splits, I mean learn to do them, it's how flexible and supple you are... Hope I helped


What are good ballet leg stretches for someone who can already do oversplits?

I am very sorry to tell you this. but I have got to admit that that is...... a pretty stupid question. If you can do the over splits to all sides you don't quite have to stretch anymore. Just keep on stretchin your oversplits and try and find a way to make stretches that you did before actually stretch you. Also, if you you have a "weak" flexibility point, just stretch that. Now if its just weaker but still pretty flexible, I already answered your question. Maybe that answer was a bit harsh. Well I'm sorry if it hurt your feelings.

How do you do the splits really quick Tips and Tricks please?

Start with taking a hot shower/bath, this will really help loosen your muscles. Then, warm up by doing jumping jacks or something for about 2mins. Now, it's time to actually do your splits. Go down as far as you can and hold it, think of a song in your head to keep your mind off the pain. After that, do a couple stretches, e.g the butterfly. Then, go back to your splits. Do this daily, and in no time you will have your splits!
