Answer 2

warm up before you start.

As you go down to do the stretch breath out. When you get to position tighten the muscle but not a lot. just a bit. Count a number of seconds then release and breadth again. Repeat this process for all your stretching. Also, repeat the same exercise various times per position. That is do the same stretches about 3 times each.

Important is not to force the stretch. Also, the more you use those muscles the more flexible you become. So, if you kick high often then over time it becomes easier and easier.

Answer 3

just keep working it it will take a while you'll get it if you work at stretching everything night

Research has shown that women who add flexibility exercises into their workout routines, gain an average of 20% more strength than those who do not stretch.
Flexibility is the ability to move a joint throughout its range of motion. Maintaining flexibility is necessary for optimal performance of your body. A body that is flexible is less prone to injury and to low back pain. Studies have shown that stretching may also improve circulation to joints and may actually help decelerate joint degenerative processes. Stretching at the end of your workout may be the most efficient way to produce permanent gains in flexibility since the muscles and ligament temperatures are slightly elevated.

Some key points to remember when stretching:

1. Slowly and gradually lengthen the muscle in a controlled manner to the point of slight discomfort.
2. Hold the position for 15 to 30 seconds.
3. Refrain from quick jerky motions or bouncing, which can result in sprains.
4. Proper alignment is critical in achieving maximum benefits. When joints are correctly moved through their full range of motion, flexibility can increase by as much as 50% in women of all ages.

Answer 4

well...make sure you stretch your arms first. anyway will help. then for your feet, lunge to the right, then pop your toe and try to put your head on your knee, then go into a runners lunge (right foot at a ninety degree angle other foot stretched out behind you) and try to put your head on the ground, then sit back on your leg so your but is on your leg and your right foot is stretched out in front of you and try to put your head on knee. then try a split. do these stretches every day and you should have what's almost to the ground split. (by the way these are not middle splits which are much harder) plus it takes time so just be patient and make sure you are doing these stretches right! hope it helps!

Answer 5

when i played volleyball we did frogs, which is crouching like a frog and using your elbows to spread your legs as far as you can and each time try for a wider frog, or you can try and put one leg higher than your head up against a wall and bounce so it will stretch the ligaments but try not to tear anything =)
