[fitforafeast]

@SliverRose1 the way you get splits is by increasing your flexibility - which you do by stretching. The stretches work the same - even if you can't go all the way down - just do 20-30 mins a day and try to go a bit further each time. We have 2 other vids on splits that might help too.

[joejonasandchichi]

[luvdaearth4ever]

can you do a back flexibility video?

[fitforafeast]

@luvdaearth4ever we have a back stretches vid - and are planning another flexibility one

[lovely504princess]

is is bad to split and hold the pose for 1 minute because i did and the back of my knees hurt very badly!!!!!!! please answer back!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!

[TheJesliTeam]

@lovely504princess it depends if you're all the way down. If you're not, hold it where you can feel the stretch, but it is not too painful. To stretch out the back of your knee, (quads) Stand up and lift your knee up behind you, and press it to your back. This should stretch it, so it is more comfortable doing the splits. I was naturally born able to do the splits so I'm not completely sure of how long to hold the split position. Maybe 20-60 seconds (just a guess) it depends how flexible you are

[ilovefitforafeast100]

my brother so lousy

[IloveBubbleGumxox]

Which splits are easier frount or middle ? xox

[TheJesliTeam]

@IloveBubbleGumxox for most people its front. Some people think differently though

[blackshadow567able]

@IloveBubbleGumxox Front splits are easier try than first or try front and middle to find out which is easier for you first work on the split that is the easiest for you

[msmilliondollasmile]

How Long Do I Have To Stretch Before I Am Able To Do The Splits Like I Just Started Stretching Today &' I Dont Go Down Very Far At All ,

[fitforafeast]

@chanylovesmakeup depends how flexible you are - stretch every day to get more flexilble and keep practicing

[Batakeki]

OMG you're so flexible :D

I'm almost 15 now and I'm really unflexible :/

I regret that I did no gymnastics or dancing...

How long does it take till I can do the splits ?

Sorry for my bad English I'm from Germany :D

[fitforafeast]

@Batakeki you get flexible by stretching - do 20 to 30 mins every day - mix up the stretches from our 3 vids on the splits. Usually you can get your splits in 30 days if you do this

[Batakeki]

[LILPANTHERGRL]

i have watched your splits videos many times i practice these stretches a lot and i am starting to see improvment i still have a little less than 3 inches to go but its better than i was when i still had about 5 or 6!

[fitforafeast]

@LILPANTHERGRL yeah! Keeping stretching to build your flexibility & you will get there!

[TheBiaIndianasuisse]

you are sisters??

[tyciol]

If you don't have a partner to push you down into side splits or lift front/back leg in front splits, is there another way?

I saw one video where a guy positioned a weight plate or two over his hips to get that extra weight, so I might try that. Not sure what to do for front though.... if we bend forward perhaps we would be able to push one arm against the ground and use our other arm to lift the leg? Perhaps somehow slide a book underneath using the forearm? I have no ideas for the back leg.

[fitforafeast]

@tyciol you can hold your arms out to the sides and try to push down but still need to keep stretching to make your muscles more flexilble

[fitforafeast]

@GracieGlitters21 good luck!

[samtsuifan100]

is it bad to like stretch at different times during a day? Like for example, lets say i stretch before school, after school, and before i go to bed. because I do that and I know I will be really sore because I always am. But I have been getting further down and i can go all the way down on my right. so im working on my left right now. but jw if i am doing something wrong,

[fitforafeast]

@samtsuifan100 there is nothing wrong with stretching often - that is good. You just shouldn't stretch to where you are in pain

[fitforafeast]

@zoeymypup1 try stretching 20-30 mins a day & mix up your stretches with the tips from our 3 vids on splits

[nf094e]

[candycandyyum99]

sometimes I can do the splits but the next day I can't. I have been trying to get my plits for over 5 months now and i think I've almost got the splits but the problem is, I can do almost all warmups perfectly and they don't seem to help much anymore. how do I get my splits with being able to still do it the next day

[fitforafeast]

@candycandyyum99 keep working on it & make sure your muscles are warmed up before you try. The more you stretch & practice - the easier it will get

[candycandyyum99]

I can do the splits but then the next day I can't. and sometimes I can do the splits but t

[just2amazinggymnast]

im a couple inches away from coming down and ive been stretching for 4 months what do i do now?

[fitforafeast]

@just2amazinggymnast ask someone to help you to push to get the last inches, or hold your arms out to your sides & try to push down, or tense all your muscles, hold then relax (you usually end up going down a bit flatter)

[JayBeeiBe]

How long have ya been doing dance class.

[fitforafeast]

@JayBeeiBe since we were 4

[JayBeeiBe]

They are really good.

[SackGirlie]

What position should your feet be in when doing the centre splits? Meaning should they be pointed away from you or flat on the ground. Thanks! By the way, I was thinking of starting up gymnastics again. Would I enjoy it? You guys are so helpful!

[fitforafeast]

@SackGirlie definitely start gymnastics again! feet position sometimes depends on if it is for dance, gymnastics, martial arts or a certain routine

[missluckygurl889]

[lalalandxoxoxo13]

I am just bait off for my side splits

[flexiblegymnast8]

are u in america and you have a really big house what can you do if you pull a muscle in your leg and how do u get your back leg straight?

[fitforafeast]

@flexiblegymnast8 we live in canada - for a pulled muscle, you can ice it - 5 mins on & 5 mins off. If your back leg is bent, it means that your muscles aren't ready to go all the way down. You have to keep stretching to get more flexible.

[flexiblegymnast8]

@fitforafeast thank you very much guys your a great help what strech shiuld i do to get my back leg and front straight?

[fitforafeast]

@flexiblegymnast8 you need to stretch every day

[flexiblegymnast8]

@fitforafeast thank you very much guys your a great help what strech shiuld i do to get my back leg and front straight? also when you can do the front splits can you twist your bod to the middle splits then back to the front?

[fitforafeast]

@flexiblegymnast8 do the stretches in our 3 vids on splits (& jetes and needles) for about 20 mins a day

[flexiblegymnast8]

@fitforafeast @fitforafeast thank you very much guys your a great help what strech shiuld i do to get my back leg and front straight? also when you can do the front splits can you twist your bod to the middle splits then back to the front?
