Learn how to do splits - Vicky explains all about stretching and splits

[Resputin84]

Good stuff thanks for posting!

[kmjohniloveyou]

this can help me for cheerleading or gymnastics next year! :D

[UnCreativeBeliever]

I really don't think I'll ever get this...haven't done gymnastics in 10 years and I have no felxability anymore...

[MsSarah7777777]

i can do box but not the other

[heahter101]

I agree with the person below me. Could you do a video for beginners who aren't flexible yet but are trying to work up to it? Which streches, how long, etc..

[donziiwww]

I dont get it, Because you can already do the splits... i can barely do a 90 degree (right angle) with my legs, any advice please? Thanks

[Roxii345]

See, videos like this are soooo helpful! You don't need lessons to do ballet ect, you can learn if you just believe that anything is possible. I do gymnastics from home! I have a trampoline I can practice from! You don't need lessons just practice on one thing and you will get there in the end, practice makes perfect! =)

[princessfedo]

@jeenie1999 doesnt it hurt?

[jeenie1999]

@princessfedo no

[mxitchica212]

She reminds me of harry potter

[birthdaygirl1126]

whatever you do make sure you are warmed up before you do the splits! my friend went into her splits cold and she pulled her muscle.!!!

[lespoisson85]

[lespoisson85]

[sashastar96]

[ashyjedi]

@sashastar96 Girl, I'm on the big side and I can do splits, it's all about flexibility =)

[kerazeepanda]

does it take too long to practice this? and can someone like 20+ practice this method? will it be safe? and will it work?

[stacylive2dance]

CAN you PLEASE help my daughter she is Extremely tight in her quadriceps and her adductors and her iliopsoas and it seems they are pulling on her spine and its starting to twist. she is very weak in her glutes too. she is starting Physical Therapy but i wanted to ask you first you seem to know what your doing THANKS!

[princessfedo]

i have never done a split before do you think it is safe to learn how to do one without a professional present?

[jeenie1999]

@princessfedo yes i dont even do all these stretches i just pop in my splits and do my homework and that takes me 30 min very good stretch.

[BetterThanRevenge99]

talk louder please

[sweetheart1781]

How long did it take you to do the splits?

[tinydanc3r262]

You helped me soo much! I was always told I would never be as flexy as girls who stretched when they were younger, u give me hope!

[TopPersonalTrainerUK]

@tinydanc3r262 Great stuff :) You can achieve anything if you focus ;)

[imgabbyDUH]

YOU GAVE ME HOPE!

[TopPersonalTrainerUK]

@imgabbyDUH so glad to hear that :)

[paralyzer1111]

@TopPersonalTrainerUK is it a better stretch if I don't put my knee on the floor when doing the lunge?

[lovextina]

2:18 makes me cringe..you never bounce during a stretch!

[VespaDreams]

hey im training for the cheerleading tryouts and I need to learn to do splits. Im training everyday but i must say it hurts. Is it normal? Ah and how much time did it take you to learn your splits ?? Thanks a lot ! :)

[musicdubdio]

this is in colets!! *o*

[Tyjasmine21]

@MaricusWM Lmfaoooo

[flamingtacopanda]

yea grate at the splits

[emmhill]

dont bounce its not good for the mucsles!!!

[Awesome11666]

thnxs this helped alot

[MariusWM]

Short answer: Girls can do splits much easier than guys, because they need to spread their legs for sex.

[forbiddenfollies]

@MariusWM More like girls hips get wider during puberty so the baby can pass through at the end of pregnancy. Guys hips never get wider. So maybe it's the the pelvic bone angling outwards(to widen the hips) that gives an easier position for the splits to happen.

[nintendogsbreeder1]

Calisthenics really helps! They push you. But in a good way and not literally push....... By push I meant help you until you get it ! By push I meant help and encourage !!!!

[nintendogsbreeder1]

Great job! U r excellent @ flex!!!!!! I can do my right but my left is about four cm away!!!!!!! And my knee is facing the side do u know how to make it face the ground? If soo plz reply XD!

[deewight92]

im kinda not sure if i should follow this.. cuz she said "i think" lol shes not sure which muscles to stretch for splits. xD

[SailorSaturn4]

i'm jealous with everyone who can do split.but after 5th day of trying,i finally reach 110 degrees.70 more to go... wish me luck,n thank you.

[germanicelt]

Is it possible for a man to do this?

[JessicaTaylor97]

Man I really want to learn how to do he splits but I keep strecthing and I can't even touch my toes! Im 14! But im going to try your stretches and hopefully it helps:)

[Sillilesshells]

yeah, to be honest i started activly working out since a few months ago, i've done static trapeze fo4 7 years and before i couldn't touch my toes all that time! now that i make sure i work out at home ( i never used to) i can touch my toes and now i'm 18. But when someone first told me that i could learn how to stretch at my age i was like " whaa! i didn't know that was true at all!". i guess its abit like learning a language. its easier as a child but certainly possible as an adult :)

[AKLady96]

the only thing is never bounce when stretching unless you have a professional with you because it increase your chance of injury if you bounce farther than your body is ready to

[BelloBudo007]

Thanks for the tips. I'm just about to have my 62nd birthday and I'd be happy to be able put my socks on without getting a cramp. Okay, okay....only kidding about the cramp business (well sort of. At my age I am looking for stretching tips and these look well worthwhile to me. However if you don't hear back please send an ambulance ;)

[xxswaqqemilyxx]

u talk to much!

[steve2275]

i really like her accent too

[GatorFans12345]

[TopPersonalTrainerUK]

@westernrider99 thank you , I'm glad you found it useful :)

[mcorn13]

@TopPersonalTrainerUK im about 1 or 2 inches away from doing the right leg split and im sticking to whatever you say so i can get better :)

[MsSarah7777777]

[corneliusr40]

[456whateva]

@westernrider99 LAUGHIN MY FUCKIN ASS OFF!! 

[talisstercustauri]

Finally a video that isn't just someone plopping down into a split, as if that helps!

[Kaiari1220]

Thanks so much for this video- it really helped! im a figure skater and my flexibility is okay but I need it to be even better!

[picabo889]

great tutorial! one thing i noticed though is when your in split you neither point nor flex your foot, but it is important to choose one because you want it to be a controled movement. just a tip :)

[TopPersonalTrainerUK]

I noticed many people like and comment on this video :) I spent quite some time today and connected most Viktoriya's videos together - so if you click the link that shows up on top of the video, if takes you straight into another video and that leads to another video. There's probably 6 videos I connected - some pretty good stuff. Enjoy :) and don't forget to Subscribe :) More videos coming very soon :)

[TopPersonalTrainerUK]

@kandigurl305 you're welcome :) Subscribe if you find a minute - cool videos from 6 months in Thailand coming very soon! Thank you :) Inga

[kandigurl305]

[brooklynmumu]

Your accent is soooo cute!!! I love it! and great video!

[Kiababe5]

i want to do a split so badly in a month so THANKS for the video!!!

Hope it works!!!

[mayatiita1]

Dislike. This woman knows nothing. You never bounce while stretching. Even an idiot who knows nothing about stretching knows that. Where did she learn this nonsense from? She even said 'it is no good doing it first thing in the morning'. Oh my god what charlatan! She is literally saying the opposite of what you should actually do. What does every single animal do as soon as it wakes up? It stretches.

[mayatiita1]

[akayozik]

Thank you for wonderful explained tutorial

[lisaninus]

the last 30 cm seem so difficult to reach the floor. am i doing something wrong?

[TopPersonalTrainerUK]

I just posted 2 video responses of Viktoriya stretching - there's more videos of her stretching on my channel, Inga

[kniveskin]

I don't get this at 1,45 :(((((

[sarahann198]

I watched this video last week and I couldn't even touch my toes! But i actually stretched EVERY day and now I can do a flat split! It only took me a week! Thanks!!:D and I am a girl; 13

[SuperBeautifulVoices]

If a child does not know how to split and wants to, is it ok or dangerous?

[Sanchara]

she's right about getting flexible at any age but it's easier when you're younger. And stetching more often is better. If you have the time to stretch every day you should.

[lovextina]

@Sanchara i agree, although I can't stretch more than 5 times a week, everyone is different when it comes to flexibility. Like I'm 21 and have been stretching since April, and I STILL don't have my splits, it is very frustrating. I stercthed for a half hour too.

[joyride199]

I'm a guy and I'm trying to get into martial arts for kickboxing and trying to get better splits and leg raises this will definitely help me thanks :) 18 male

[calmlcism]

OK, YOU GUYS! I just stretched again today & I went down hecka! :D

[calmlcism]

I've been working on my splits for so long, but I just can't do it. T.T"

[otogizoshi]

How long would you take each day to practice stretching? 10-15 minutes? or how many times do I have to do it each day?

[DanceLoveLily]

@otogizoshi It is best to do 30mins a day and you dont have to do it everyday. Start with 30mins every other day or just 3 times a week.

[idkmebutidkyou]

@DanceLoveLily is it good to stretch for more than 30 min??

[otogizoshi]

How long would you take each day to practice stretching? 10-15 minutes?

[TheBlitzProof]

c'mon i wanna see the clip why is my adsl very slow?!!?!?

[WiiScottie]

lolol@perverts

[lilly515253]

im liking the cooments so im just gonna start streching 3-4 times a week and excersizing alot then try to do the spliti m 11 and i can get on of my legs straight but my other leg i cant bend my knee

[smartercat]

I'm really happy you said that u dont need to start when ur child and that u started when u were 18! There is hope for me then <3

[taekwonalways]

please suggest me how to open my split i am trying it for two year but i cant open please suggest me on my email my email id is taekwonalways@gmail.com

[taulidpiaf]

You. Me. Bed. Wow.

[xxcorriexxbbabe]

This has Helped me lots - Thankyou Viktoriya<3

Duis te amor viktoriya <III

[Milletfreak]

...I could reach my toes again! (Well, at least for me that was a big progress). I got really motivated then and kept stretching. It didn't hurt that much because I never pushed myself too much. And now after a about a month I can touch my shin with my forehead. That seemed so impossible for me. I also started stretching for the splits and while at first I didn't think I'll ever reach the floor I get more positive everytime now because it slowly is getting better and better

[smartercat]

@Milletfreak I love that, me at the moment cant even sit straight at the floor without failing! And now tht i read your little thingie, I am very motivated to try and stretch too! I feel like an old lady because i'm 16 and cant reach my toes ! thank you! <3

[Milletfreak]

About one month ago I just needed to sit on the floor properly with stretched out legs and my muscles hurt.So basically I already failed completely by doing nothing at all. Then I decided to start stretching regularly. I had no goal or anything because I knew that I am far from flexible and probably will always be. But I just wanted to try. At first it was uncomfortable due to the fact that I felt like a 99 year old. I took it really slowly and just after a few days I could see a big progess....

[Cake6595]

I cant touch my toes either!!!!!!!!!! im so happy im not alone.

[Fhenry]

ive been doing lots of stretches with no results at all...hate my stiff muscles

[Cake6595]

@Fhenry its okay i bet it jus takes time. be patient with your body.

[muciar1]

pekna baab dobre by som ju pomucil a pomiloval

[MultiRedhearts]

you have to warm up first though

[SuperAshley256]

Omg! Thank you so much-3 You have the best advice. I'm 11 years old and I can do a split but not the side splits. Do I'm gonna do the work outs u taught me. Anyway, Thanx:)

[TessaLoveTH]

Thanks so much for the advise, I just turned 20 and I thought it was too late but i'm going to start now I want to be a bit more flexible

[morticiapompom]

@TessaLoveTH omg same here!!!just turned 20 and i regret not trying this earlier,but hey,it's never too late right??so,did you manage to do it???:D:D

[TessaLoveTH]

@morticiapompom Hi, no I'm still not there but I must admit that I slacked for some time! I've just started doing some stretches again since a month :) have you been able to do it? xx

[ThroughBloodAndRain]

@TessaLoveTH DUDE. TH? As in Tokio Hotel?

[TessaLoveTH]

@ThroughBloodAndRain correct

[ThroughBloodAndRain]

@TessaLoveTH Brilliant! My fandom has cooled down, just a bit tired of the old stuff in anticipation of the new album. I can't wait. :P

[TessaLoveTH]

@ThroughBloodAndRain Yes thats true, they are not giving us anything lately but maybe it's worth waiting ;) they will always be special to me

[jellybeanbabiiy]

@TessaLoveTH did you ever get your splits? I'm 20 and I want to get mine

[pamela69a]

Also i am not flexible at all... i can no where near do the splits yet and im 25 too so is it too late?

[mandolinroad]

@pamela69a i started last year when i was 28, now i'm 29 pushing 30 and i'm doing the front splits and getting very close to the side splits. don't worry.

[pamela69a]

Hi ive been training to be a pole dancer for quite some time now and i have a competition coming up in June... but one of moves i need to be able to get my legs quite far apart almost doing the splits... if i do this 3 times a week can you guarentee me that i will be able to do the splits or almost? and also how quickly will i see result...

[MissVictoriaTV]

my names VICTORIA! :D

[todo5000]

i cant stop noticing how she has NO hips

[toastersman217]

I can do right split. Can't wait to get the side split!

[GIwillo]

nice tutorial.thank you!btw... got a boyfriend?! :P

[SamirSlipSideCW]

thanks i need thiss for kick boxing!!

[toastersman217]

Thank you the best tutorial of split I've ever seen. I'm a male and I want to be able to do the split in before summer. I'm 16.

[calmlcism]

@toastersman217 Wow are you gonna be a cheerleader or just for the heck of it?

[toastersman217]

@calmlcism Just for the heck of it and to increase my parkour skills. A lot of movementsof parkour and some freerunning tricks ask some flexibility.

[gokharol]

@toastersman217 did you get it? did you? :D I hope to read a yes!

[toastersman217]

@gokharol Yes it took me a month and an half. :D. However, two months later, I injured myself and stopped during one month. Then, I learned it again. XD

[victor82784]

i can loutus but no split what up, i want to split but it hurst and then the strain goses numb should i hold the numb feeling cuz i dont want to be hurt please help i am a bboy and the less i train cuase of strain the less i progress help !!!!!

[toastersman217]

@victor82784 When you START the stretch, go as far as possible WITHOUT FEELING ANY PAIN. After 20 seconds, you'll feel that your muscles are more relax. Then, you can go farther and feel some pain. However, don't forget do do some warm up( 5 minutes of jogging) to avoid injuries, pain(the following day ) and to progress faster in your split.

[mrrrxxxxx]

Bullshit, exactly the same what other 1000 videos on here say

[mrpower328]

I need to stretch like that for my martial arts kicks

[eugene680]

Stretching is one of the most important aspects of martial arts. It increases the blood flow though the body. Also if very flexible, it allows less effort to move, allowing more effort for technique.

[soslabass]

u strated tostrech at 18 ? cant i do to split at least 150 dergée ? at 35? it possible ?

[ballin1822]

SHE'S A CUTIE!!!!

[Shad0vvStalk3r]

She's like my inspiration right now, to know that she could only do her splits when she was 18 is very encouraging for me since I'm only 17. At least I know I still have time, and I'm not 100% stiff so I guess that's a good sign. Great tips by the way! ;-)

[chisik51]

your flexibilty is awesome!

[alysa989]

@ mrmrgm10 yes that's very normal to be sore it will probably hurt to bend down and sit down also I find the best time to stretch is when your sore it will take away the soreness and you're range of motion will dramaticlly increase because your muscles are very pulled out and stretching them will be easy

[mrmrgm10]

hi...I'm 16 years old and i started stretching to get my splits for about a week.I was doing well, i was 2 inches far from the ground but when i was stetching and trying to do the splits i was sore so i stopped stretching.Please let me know if that pain was ok and what can i do to become more flexible and get my splits.

[Scriipto]

@mrmrgm10 Usually if you stretch like so you will get sore, I got sore but I kept going, nothing happened. (:

[XxDarkestPeacexX]

i love you accent

[CrazySamantha0214]

This video helps. I can't get to the ground yet but I will try some of those stretches out. I usually stretch after I run everyday and I am seeing some progress.

[LegendColgo]

Advice:males-dont rush tu much on splits because u may be injured so badly cause Females-can do this 2-3x easier then males cause the part at the ass-its much increased then males,at the males the part under at the neck is increased much beter then females,an example females can do splits 2x easier ,males can do push-ups 2x easier :D well good luck,by the way males u have to train each day not 3 time on week :D !

[DaTaBASE3089]

Thanks inga for such a positive reply. I started stretching at 20 y old,and i am doing very nice, and this video helps alot. Cya ;)

[catalinux007leiro]

first vid who really hepls. thx alot

[TopPersonalTrainerUK]

Hi all, this is a new 5 minute video from a latin dancer Viktoriya - she explains how she does her stretching and splits. When she was 18 years old she couldn't even touch her toes - then she started to stretch and made amazing improvemnt as you can see - so you don't have to start as a kid to be able to do splits later in your life. Also she didn't stretch every day - 3x a week is all it took. Hope this helps and good luck ;o) Inga

[loladeolaoye]

@TopPersonalTrainerUK how old is she now
