If you want to get your middle splits I would suggest spreading your legs and leaning forward as much as you can to start out with then move to the wall. lean with your butt against the wall and spread them out as wide as you can. and once you get comfortable spread a little more.. then more then more and just hold it each time. just chill and listen to music. also when I was in gymnastics they had us go as much as we could on the floor then put a ten pound weight on our butts... ouch yea.. but it worked. don't fight it just let it go it hurts but eventually it wont. If your talking about the other splits like with your right or left foot in front and the other behind you you can put that foot out in front and have the other knee just on the ground ( not in split position) and just lean over it that works really well. also you can place your foot on a higher surface ( in gymnastics we used pannell mats) just get it he split position and make sure your right ( or left) foot is above and lean forward and hold it... and remember not to fight it or it will never stretch out.. :) I did my best to explain.. if you need more help you can Add me on IM and I can describe it a little more to you! I was a gymnast for along time and Had all three of my splits down :D so I definetly know the best ways to get stretched out ;) hope I helped any!
