This website shows you a lot of stretches!.
Look where it says: "Who can practice!?

Anyone that is serious, willing to put enough time and has patience!. Some say that any over the age of 25 years shouldn't start contorting!. Others refuse to train men, because they considered as good as women (or maybe the coach doesn't like to train men due to other issues not needed to be mentioned here!?)!. Let's kill those myths!. There are men that are 55 years old and can do many of the poses and exercises on these pages and the only difference between a man starting in the middle age and for example a 20 year old woman that has started in her childhood is that it takes him longer time to be successful with the same things she is in short time!."

I do pretty much what they say but I hold every stretch for 10 minutes afterwards!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You are WAY too old!.!.!. to become a contortionist you needed to start before age 5 and you need to be, what is called "double jointed"!.!.!. if you have just normal bone and muscle structure, then you can never be a contortionist!.!.!. AT ANY AGE!.

My first wife's younger sister was and still is a contortionist of some fame and she started when she was 4 YEARS OLD!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not sure if you are too late to start!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
