I am so trying to do the splits, but it hurts can you help me?

well maybe ur just not flexable enough
but strech a lot and c if that helpz at all

uhm duh it hurts. you need to keep stretching.
some people just are not flexible.

there is really no easier way. u just have to endure the pain and keep doin it or else it just goes back and u will lose ur accomplishments

do some strentches and then everyday hold ur split as far as u can go down for a min. sooon u will have them.

Stretch and practice daily.

60 seconds every day on each leg. you will get them sooner or later

keep stretching it more and more everyday, u will get it. thats what karate teaches u.

do it naked

If you are a guy stop doing it. if your a girl and it hurts ease into it. you might not be flexiable enough

Go to a gymnasium class.

stretch a lot

it takes time.you have to get a little lower each day.

Baby steps..soon, you will be flexible enough and wonder how you COULDN''T do it before!

u have to strech every day. into you get there. do not force it, u can get hurt.

You should start slowly by stretching, and doing partial splits. trying to get down that low all at once will damage your muscles possibly tearing them. That is if it is possible for you to get down there now. A stretching program willensure that you make it all the way down there eventually though. Practice and patience!

l know it does.
l could not at first but u just have to keep streching. Stay in the splits posistion for a minute or two a couple times a day. And you will reach your goal.

STRETCH EVERYDAY!!! Do 10 toe-touches everyday. That will help flexify your hamstrings (which is the main muscle used during a split). Then maybe like 10 jumpin-jacks.ur done! :)

you have to slowly do it.. It will take you a while to increase your flexibility.;. warm up and each time try to go a little further.. Just dont push yourself too much and hurt yourself.

It takes time
You need to stretch out your legs try:
1. When your watching tv spread your legs apart and reach forward with your arms.

just really stretch stretch strech stretch

OK, l found directions on how to do the splits. Read them, OK.

l am a dancer/gymnast, l have been since l was three. My advice is dont force yourself, and DEFINATELY stretch first or you will be feeling it a lot worse later on. Practise a little each day with stretches and eventually you will be able to do the splitz while finishing your work. (Yes, l have done that!)

lmao.no, l cant. but ur Q reminded me of a funny moment in skool today. we were playin some ultimate frisbee and l tiped a pass so it fell short of the intended receiver. it landed on the ground and continued to skid in his general direction. he tried to put his foot in its way to stop it, by sort of lunging. instead his foot landed on top of it.and it kept on skidding.making him do a split! lmao.what makes it funnier is that he cant normally do a split. he ok now though :P

a whole lot of stretching every night and morning, you will see improvements.


these are good also.

The answer is. You do not do the splits. What if u get stuck like that for the rest of ur life?

How will u ever pee in the toilet?
How will u ever go to ur high school prom?
How will u ever do a handstand?
How will u ever take a shower in ur own bathroom?
How will u ever be a New York city Rockette?
How will u ever slam dunk a basketball?

You seriously need to think about these things before u try to do the splits.

l found that pilates really helped me to get the splits. Just stretch everyday and should kind of hurt so you get an effect but not too much otherwise you could do damage

Do stretches each day with your legs, over time you will gain flexibility. It is not something that will happen overnight.
Do not try and do them to soon as you will strain yourself. Dont get frustrated not many people can do the splits.
Good luck
