How to Become More Flexible
August 25th, 2006 . by Drill Obsession
Edit 9/4/06: For help on the splits, read Flexibility to the Max–Stretch your splits in 3 weeks!
You’ve been stretching what seems like forever, but you still haven’t got the splits down after a year or so. It seems impossible, and you start asking yourself if you’re incapable of doing the splits. Maybe the right question to ask is if you are stretching correctly, doing the right stretches, and stretching frequently enough.
Being able to do the splits isn’t just based on being flexible in one area. A lot of people tend to stretch the same muscles everyday, but never get the splits down. This may because they are doing the wrong stretches. Another possibility is that they aren’t performing the stretches correctly. Make sure you use a variety of stretches and also perform them correctly. Stretching improperly won’t do you any good.
Being flexible also requires a lot of stretching. There are many ways to improve your flexibility. You need to be stretching daily, for at least 15 minutes. You can’t just compensate and decide to stretch for two hours every Saturday. It doesn’t work that way–you have to stretch daily in order to build up on it. Your flexibility improves everyday, but it also digresses. If you stretch once a week, you’ll become more flexible, but by the next week, you will lose all the flexibility that you gained. That’s why you have to stretch daily–so that you build flexibility and don’t lose it.
One important tip for stretching is to do it after warming up. Your muscles are much easier to stretch while they’re warm and it won’t feel as painful while stretching cold. You’ll get better results this way and have less risks of pulling a muscle. Also try strengthening your legs.
Another tip is to stretch while at practice. I know you probably warm up and stretch, but while stretching, you can’t just talk to your friends and be in a stretching position while doing so. You have to think about stretching and focus on becoming more flexible. You can sit in a stretching position for hours and get no stretch at all. You actually have to stretch to your limits in order to improve your flexibility. After awhile, your stretching limits will expand because you are becoming more flexible. You will be able to get another inch down into your splits. And week after week, if you continue focusing, you’ll get it!
Just remember that flexibility is attainable if you focus hard and stretch often. Don’t let your flexibility digress more than it improves.

my flexabilty hates me.
I can do right splits, I’m not far off from side ways but I cannot do left. I am not really concerned about splits and stuff because it’s not like any of my friends are more flexible than me any-way.I can fall into a bridge and stuff . Now at my gymnastics their is this girl whos about my age and she comes to watch her sister in the higher level and she always shows off doing walkovers and flipping backover. If you have any advice for learning how to do that please tell me. I need help !!!

Please answer!! Thanks =]
Hey!!! Just thought I’d tell you but your site rocks!!! I’ve looked up other sites but they seem way more complex…! Anyway, I’m going to take cheerleading classes..thx for the encouragement!!! I stretch everyday now.
Bel,
Thanks for the feedback. I try to keep my content simple and straightforward as I feel it’s the best way for people to digest the info and not go crazy or get confused. I would be interested in hearing what you mean by other sites being more complex. Do you mean their language, amount of content, or site depth? Appreciate your thoughts!
hey

bvngghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i am only flexible in my arms. i can play jump rope with them. but my legs r a different story. i can almost do a middle split but that’s about it. i’m left handed, so every stretch i do works better on my left leg. like for the v-sit stretch, i can reach the bottom of my left foot, but i can barely reach my right because it hurts. are my arms different lengths? I also had to wear leg braces when i was 4, is that the problem. also, i can’t stand exactly straight. my feet can only come together when my knees are bended. if im standing, my knee bones touch, and then i can’t put my feet together, any special stretches for bone-legged people . PLz HELP!!!
i really want to do the splits but it seems that i am very UNFLEXIBLE. does anybody have any other tricks they did to help them to do the spilts? please?
^^^^
FOR DAT PERSON
i know this because i tried it once and it helped me.
If you sit against a wall with your legs apart as wide as you can for five minutes. After 5mins try and widen them a bit more do this for 20mins in the morning and 20mins at night everyday for around a month and you should become more flexible in your legs.

ps. im only 12 so if im wrong soz
I dance, and I have been told that I have a lot of talent, but my inflexibility has always held me back. I have knee injuries, and ankle injuries too….do you think that stretching can help me improve my body back into dance shape? Oh, I have my left split and I can almost go straight down the middle, but my kicks are horrible. I can barely even hold my leg out without it shaking. What do you think? Can your program help a person like me out?
i can never get my back leg down can u tell what stretch mite help that

My Dad does not let me do splits at home as he thinks that it would cause you to get hurt by injuring your muscles without a professional trainer. Is this true?
