hey guys, i just have a couple quick questions. are your knees supposed to hurt while you do the splits? and is it normal to always have very, very tight hamstrings? they are always rock hard no matter how much i stretch them, and they are holding me back in flexibilty for dance. please give me some advice!!

How I got my split was I stretched real well and then I went into it and I went as far as I could go. Then when the muscles relaxed in the split I went all the way down then came up. I repeated this and then after a few days I had my split!

Hey i have until september to get my splits down and everytime i do a warm up (im usually doing a kicking drill for around 10-20 minutes) and when i stretch sideways my hips begin to cramp up and hurt. But this only happens when i do wall stretching (putting your leg on the wall or a table/chair/platform and stretching sideways). It doesn’t affect me when im doing floor stretching. Please can you tell me what i can do to stop the cramping?
