How can i be more flexible?

Question:The most fun way is to get involved in dance, gymnastics, yoga, or pilates. Not only will you get more flexible, but you will meet new people and experience new things. If you just want some stretches to do, try these. They are aimed towards helping you get your splits, which most people see as a good sign of flexibility:
~Start with a straddle stretch, reach over to the right so that your knee is facing the ceiling and your shoulders are facing front, hold for at least 30 seconds then rotate so that your shoulders are facing your leg (nose to knee), then angle yourself so that you are reaching a few inches in front of your leg (if your center is 12 o' clock, reach to the 2 o' clock diagonal); reach center, then reverse to the left (diagonal, nose to knee, shoulders foward); repeat the whole thing twice
~Now put your legs straight ahead in a pike, point your toes and bend over trying to keep your back flat (don't hunch) and hold, then reach as far as you can (your back will hunch some); repeat with flexed feet; now bring one leg to coupe, reach, and repeat, then switch legs, and now bring one leg to posse, reach, and switch legs
~Pretend like your in the splits, with one leg in front, the other behind. Bend one leg in so that your back leg is straight and your front is bend to your chest. Reach over and hold, repeat with your bent leg in attitude (a 90 degree angle in front of you) and switch legs
~Lay on your back, pull one leg into passe then extend straight and pull to your nose, like in a kick (make sure both toes are pointed and both legs are straight) repeat going into posse and extending; carry your leg to your ear, then carry it across your body; hold all stretches and repeat with the other leg

Hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds and do on both sides for it to be productive!

Now try your splits for the first time after stretching, all 3 (left, right, middle)

~Now go to a wall, lay on your back with your booty next to the intersection of the wall and floor and your legs straight up against the wall; let your legs drop to a straddle (back on floor, legs on wall); hold for as long as possible, try 2-3 minutes!

Now try your splits again, this time go as far as you can then lay over towards your front leg, push back and arch the back, then roll so that you are laying on the inside of your split leg. This is hard to do until you have the splits all the way.

Do these stretches everyday and remember to only do your splits after stretching. Good luck, I hope I could help!

Take Pilates or Yoga. You can modify the movements for your flexibility level. Practice every day and you'll notice over a month or two that you're becoming more flexible. Take your time! I didn't when I was younger and ripped a ligament.

try doing gymnastics and doing hard stretches. even if it herts remember it helps

if you wanna stay home just try basic things.
stand with feet more than shoulder width apart and feet facing front and try touching the floor. you hold it a little and get farther each time, no matter where you start. also, reach down to your right foot, then left, then center again. or you can sit with feet apart in a wide v and reach to all sides. or sit with feet together and reach forward.
you prolly wont be getting that far at first, but do what you can without it hurting soo bad and hold. the more you do it the more flexible you'll get over time.
much luck!

take a jazz dance class.

to be more flexible you should stretch everyday doing stratles
regular splits and touching your toes.

am so sorry to be the one to say this.....

but some people are like that.

maybe you can flex every day and eat healthy food!
