How can i do a split?

Question

a cheerleading split

Answer 1

If you do the following routine everyday for a month, you should be in a split or very close to one. If you aren't very flexible, this will be hard for you but when you in these positions, as soon as you think you've gone as far as you can go, just hold your position for a loooong 10-30 seconds. (The longer and farther you hold it, the better results) Oh yea and when you can like the sitting positions, POINT YOUR TOES! Very important

.stretch out your arms by doing arm circles front and backwards
.(stand up) bend down and try your best to touch your toes, if you can easily, try to touch the floor in front of your feet
.(stand up) spread your legs a little more than shoulder length and touch the toes of your right foot ALL THE WAY, cheating will not help you get more flexible or do the split
.then do the same but with the left leg
. bend straight down the middle
. now sit down and spread your legs in a straddle(V) (the farther you spread them, the easier it will be). do the same thing you would do as if you were standing. bend to the right,left,middle. it may seem like you're doing the same thing over but you arent, trust me. the sitting one streches you more but that doesn;t mean skipp the standing one
. now bring both legs in(pike) and creep your hands up to your feet as far as you can, feel the burn! This is probably the most challenging stretch.
. do a lunge forward and then sit. if you do this right you should have one foot out,straight, and pointed and one foot bent back with your foot under your butt
.which ever foot is out is the foot your going to split in. So, just bring that other foot out and do your best split, and remember to hold it. It should hurt otherwise you'll never do the split. When you think you've held long enough, do the lunge,straight leg,split with the other leg.

Catrwheels and hand stands will help you tighten up, so try doing those after your streches. If you join gymnastics, that could really help too because they do muscle builders and it's a lot of fun.
I hope my plan helps, and remember
-always point your toes
-don't forget a day
-take pictures of your splits so you can see your progress

They also have other splits videos . (: im working hard to get mine . make sure you drink lots of water , WARM-UP , over split , push yourself, once you go down into your splits , sit there as long as you can and then go into another stretch , then go back into your splits. Dont just do them one time in one sitting because you'll go lower the more you do them. also , BREATHE! if you hold your breath , your muscles do not stretch. breathe as much as you can. Your muscles tear and grow back more flexible as you stretch so dont get bummed out , be patient and good things shall come :D

Answer 3

Well my dance teacher recommends to stretch every single day
Start off with basic stretches like putting out one leg and stretching and touching the toes and repeating with each leg
Begin with a straddle (I recommend practicing straddles against the wall. Spread out your legs and push them apart against the wall as if you were doing a straddle)
And remember try your best to not miss a day of stretching. It will be hard to get back on track
Thanks
