What excercises can i do to be more felxible?

Question

i want to be able to do the splits but i'm not at all flexible.

Answer 1

The other answers have covered much of the solution to your problem.

Remember to warm up sufficiently before starting a stretching reigeime. Never push too hard but do progressively increase the intensity of your stretches. Finally note that especially in the split range, that you will be structurally limited to a certain range.

Answer 2

its not exercise that makes you be able to be flexible its actually the opposite if you don't stretch your muscles become tighter. Stretching your legs out before you go to bed and when you get up in the morning will help a lot.

Answer 3

You need to start off with stretching. Then after your body gets used to that, mildly put pressure on the stretches. You can sit on the floor, bend your knees and put your feet together. Hold your feet and gently butterfly your knees up and down. Pull in on your feet, towards your crotch while doing this. This will stretch the muscle in your groin. Go slow and gently increase the pressure weekly.

Answer 4

first warm up do jumping jacks or something then streck. after that try doing the splits. each day push you r self a little farther. take it slow you dont want to hurt youurself.

Answer 5

start doing yoga... at first you won't be able to do much but give it time and pretty soon you will be able to do the splits

Answer 6

yoga

martial arts

regular stretching (don't strain you muscles too much at once, just be persistent and your flexibility will increase over time.)
