Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
If you do the following stretching exercises regularly, they will help you do a split!. It will take time to improve your flexibility, so don't rush things or you could injure yourself!.

Warm up first by skipping a rope or jogging in place for 5 minutes!.

Keeping your back straight, bend down from the waist and try to touch your toes!. Hold this position for half a minute!.

Next, sit down on the ground with your legs straight out in front of you, knees together!. Reach forward, bending at the waist, and try to touch your toes Keep your back straight and try to get your chest as close to your legs as possible!. Hold for half a minute!.

Now kneel down and place your hands on the ground on either side of your body to support you!. Stretch one leg behind you and relax!. Let your body sink toward the ground!. Hold for one minute and then switch legs!.

After each stretching session, go into the split position and see how low you can go!. As your flexibility improves, you will find you can go lower and lower!. Don't strain yourself!. If you feel any discomfort, stop immediately!. Some people are more naturally flexible than others, so don't compare with your progress with a friend!.

TIP:
Always wear loose, comfortable clothing and sneakers while performing these stretches!.

First of all you always have to stretch your legs really well!.

Left and Right Split:
Do lunges first then straighten both of your legs while keeping your hands on the floor!. After a few seconds go back to the lung and then go down to your split!.

Middle Split:
Put your back on the floor and pull up your legs and set them on a wall so it looks like you're sitting just upside-down!.
Next pull your legs as far apart as you can without getting hurt!.
Then just stay there for five minutes a day!.
Five minutes later try out your middle split!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just take a lot of time stretching you legs when you are warm!.!. like after a shower my dance teacher told me to do that because your muscles are relaxed!. try that!. you can also lunge and starten the leg is bent and the bend u back leg and have your nose touch your front knee and then straighten your back leg and you can get far down!. make sure you stretch about 30min before you try to do your spilts so you dont tear a muscle!. what i usually do is have my dance teacher or someone i trust a lot push me down a little and make sure when your legs are hurting not to come back up right away and you should stay there for a minute or two so your legs can get used to it!. make sure to do that everyday because one day i had my splits and i didnt practice them for a long time and i lost them so make sure you practice everyday!.

u have to stretch ur legs alot
but dont overdo it in one day
it takes time
stretch everyday and slowly ur legs will become open
and splits wont hurt as much as the first few times u do a perfect one
