best and your flexibility is amazing.

[ManondeJongReal]

of course it will hurt. Do you seriously think you can get flexible without pain?

[bringiton379]

hey you guys

[puppymaster120]

i don't know how u get your legs that straight it hurts so much

[fitforafeast]

@puppymaster120 it only hurts if your muscles aren't flexible - stretch every day to make them more flexible

[puppymaster120]

i dont know how u get your legs that staright it hurts so much

[TheToya150]

Can I Learn How To Do The Splits In One Day?

I Exercised Alot!

[fitforafeast]

@TheToya150 not unless you are naturally really flexible - if you stretch every day it will probably still take a few weeks

[armymm]

Fitforafeast can u make a video of what streches will make u really flexible ???

[fitforafeast]

@armymm we will be posting a flexibility vid soon

[armymm]

Thank u so MUCH !!!! :))) u helped a lot now I can do the splits !!!

[iAmCrAzY728]

When I go down into my splits after doing all the stretches, my back leg won't budge at all. Like what I mean is that it won't push down anymore. I've never been able to do left/right splits, I could do straddles (middle splits) a year ago. I am SUPER close to being able to again. My problem is just getting my body in a comfortable position and pushing myself down. Please help, fitforafeast? (:

[fitforafeast]

@iAmCrAzY728 you have to work on flexibility & stretch every day so your muscles are able to go down more

[mygabbyj1]

[MyDanceandsing]

[AnubisJosh]

Male, 24 years old, not naturally flexible

[TaraT3313]

Thanks so much! I don't think I'm making much progress yet (I'm taking it slow) But Cheerleading tryouts is a year from now, plenty of time to watch the rest of your videos!

[belieber781]

I STILL can't! @fitforafeast Whenever I try doing the side splits, my legs hurt! And the handstands, I can't find the strength to lift myself up. What should I do?

[fitforafeast]

@belieber781 you need to stretch to get more flexible - then you will be able to go farther & it wont hurt

[parkerhatton]

@fitforafeast how long did it take for u to do it

[fitforafeast]

@parkerhatton cant really remember - was so long ago - but pretty quick

[AishaAndKartiah]

[TheSophia1611]

[fitforafeast]

@TheSophia1611 it means your muscles aren't ready yet - just stretch every day to increase flexibility

[snazzyjazzyluvsu]

hi i am a cheerleader and i have been cheering for how many years and we always did splits and my back leg is always straight but my front leg will never go down do u know something to help with that

[fitforafeast]

@snazzyjazzyluvsu that's because the muscles aren't ready =- stretch for 20-30 mins a day to build flexibility

[snazzyjazzyluvsu]

@fitforafeast ok i am practicing 20-30 minutes a day and they are getting better by the minute

[AsianInvazionCrew]

what if i'm not flexible already, and i'm a beginner? Do I just keep trying to do those stretches everyday until my legs can finally stay straight on the ground?

[fitforafeast]

@AsianInvazionCrew the way you get more flexible is to stretch every day

[bethanyclaraheatherc]

@AsianInvazionCrew Yes

[chuliaah]

i'm gonna try this now

your voice is sooooo adorable !! :D

[kykylovesjbpray]

im 11i am already 5'6 it is harder to do splits can i still do them ??

[fitforafeast]

@kykylovesjbpray sure - just keep stretching every day to improve your flexibility

[bishop0645]

the splits are really hard to do

i tried they are fricken hard to do

[sweetlilianar]

@bishop0645 but with time and practice you can get it. I'm 13(started practicing when i was 12)  and i was not even close to the floor but i keept stretching and now i can do them. It takes time. In my case it took me for about 3 weeks(not practicing every day, maybe once every 2 or 3 days) but the only thing you need is practice :)

[bishop0645]

the splits are really hard to do

[CockatielsAreCute123]

I FINALLY got my split now :D woot woot

[leannele333]

I have my right splits from using this video and I would like to get my left splits..but its impossible because when I try to go down to my left, my knee doesnt want to unbend!! My dad told me that I focused on my right leg more than my left so my legs r not balanced equally of stretching... PLEASE HELP!!

[fitforafeast]

@leannele333 one side is always easier than the other - just keep stretching 20-30 mins a day - same on one side as the other

[stephaniep789]

this helped :) Thanks

im signing up for dance (jazz) so i need to train :DDd

[babaGODNONI16]

i really no how to do the sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssp­lits

[Maddy9604]

I'm really frustrated...I didn't work :D

[fitforafeast]

@Maddy9604 it is not going to work the first time you try (unless you are naturally really flexible) you have to build flexibility by stretching

[123thetips]

Hi,

What was the first name of your first video ever

-Emma

[Girlguide360]

How old were you in the video?

[fitforafeast]

@Girlguide360 I think 10 & 11?

[jiaHKIDZ]

i can do a split already but yall can do it good im in gymnastics !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[arnottlaura]

is this a joke i carnt even streit my knee god

[Cookiesrock115]

You know this is dangerous I dislocated my hip and sprained my leg taking your advice. now i cant walk and sometimes have to use a wheelchair ( that I'm on right now) but it helped I'm more flexable now

[fitforafeast]

@Cookiesrock115 don't think you can do that -even if you force yourself into the splits - you need to take it slowly and stretch every day - just as far as you can till it starts to hurt

[cmpunk9902]

oh my gosh i can almost do it but i cant go down all the way!!! :(

[ange123light]

i  can do em but they didnt help me that much

[acrostunts101]

I like it only if you watch some of my videos

[RhonaYoga]

I put my back leg up on a stool and held it for 3 minutes, then I had to go to the hospital. So I can't practice each day now. Actually I could probably put the other leg up on the stool.

[kaiteedance]

ohhh god im so terrible @ the splits i do everything every day that u said!!!!!!!!! any other tips ????



[Lacielovesyouable]

[DaNa0074]

Thank you so much for helping me with my splits! Lots of love! <3

[OnePieceAllTheWay1]

everytime I try to do a middlesplit it ends up getting blocked by my knee and my legs feel as if they are going to break. Be blunt with me, is this going to improve over time or am I never going to be able to do the middlesplit?

[fitforafeast]

@OnePieceAllTheWay1 it will improve if you stretch every day (do 20-30 mins)

[OnePieceAllTheWay1]

@fitforafeast oh AWESOME! thanks for the advice and thanks for replying

[kissesandhuges13]

[Rosa13Lie]

[MissGirlxD]

[justinbieberlove1351]

[Beautifulhotmes729]

[fitforafeast]

@TheGymnasticsluv1 I dont do gymnastics anymore - just dance & acro gym

[shellby35]

please reply i cant do the splits and when i try my back leg bends how do i help this

[fitforafeast]

@shellby35 it bends because your muscles aren't ready - you need to stretch 20-30 mins a day to get them more flexible

[lilmyzswagger1]

i cant do splits without socks on can you do tips on how to do it with socks off

[lylacapri28]

I LIKE THESE GIRLS!! no in a weird pedo way though....

[PolarPeace2]

Its not that easy to go down at 00.44

[addicted2toofacedfa1]

You shouldn't push yourself! You can pull a muscle!

[SakuraSolidMarker]

how long do you have to do this for to achieve the splits?

[fitforafeast]

@SakuraSolidMarker usually if you stretch 20-30 mins a day --you can get them in a month

[Pinkycrust]

I want to do this

[9050ruby]

It hurts when I try going downer

[fitforafeast]

@9050ruby make sure your muscles are warmed up - stretch every day to build flexibility - don't try to force it

[wiganwarriors10]

@9050ruby They make it look so easy:L xx

[TheAwesomepeace]

IT DOESNT HELP IM WHERE I WAS BEFORE:[

[Smurf0098]

When I try to do right/left split it either gets blocked by my knee or gets turned into a middle split, any tips?

[fitforafeast]

@Smurf0098 stretch every day to get your muscles more flexible

[sweetlilianar]

@DarkMan3436 You ALWAYS have to warm up before doing the splits, also, you have to stretch before doing the splits. NEVER do the splits with your muscles not warmed up, you can break something!

[jackie10101010101010]

WOW YALL IS SO FLEXIBLE...LOL

[amazingsoccer99]

Still cant do it

[cupcakefllower]

i could do them in the fall we did alot of these same thing to practice our splits but now were on the off season and theyre awful tnx for the help!

[CrazyRandomMe1]
