Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Practicing every day is one of the best things you can do. Soon you will be a lot closer to the ground. At first, it will hurt really bad and you won't go very far, but in a few weeks you will see improvement.

Don't force yourself to go down, you will hurt you muscles really bad.

Practice stretching in a pike stretch (feet together in front of you, put your nose to your knee). Also a good stretch is to have your legs spread apart like a triangle and touch your toes. One more stretch that helps is the butterfly stretch. Put the bottoms of your feet together with your legs bent. Put your hands on your feet and bend forward.

At first, you will feel a tremendous amount of pain! But in about a month, you should have your splits!

Good luck!
