Question Posted Monday January 1 2007, 4:20 pm
Okay I've seen a couple recent questions on splits but I have one more thing I need to know. My splits are about 5 inches on my right leg and probably 7 on my left leg from the ground. If I stretch everyday how long could it take to get my splits? I need them by approx late April/early May for my studio's show. Is it possible? Okay thanks!

Stretching alone won't necessarily do anything by itself. You have to work at your splits EVERYDAY, if you know how to do any cheerleading jumps..those will help stretch your inner thigh muscles, and will help flex you out. Also..there is a particular stretch meant to get your splits further down that we do in gymnastics..it's kind of hard to explain..but I'll try..Get on one knee, and put your other leg in front..the leg that is not kneeling.your knee should not extend further than your toes, with your two hand, push down on your knee and lean forward, and you should feel a pull in your hamstring..do this with your other leg. Then with what ever leg you do it with, right after you stretch with it, do the splits with that leg. (sorry..that was probably confusing)
But it would probably take you about 9 months to a year to get your splits. Good luck..I hope I helped. [ becca08's advice column | Ask becca08 A Question ]
