Question:About a week ago I finally got my splits (after working at it for about 2 months)! Can you go down all the way? If so, how long was it until you were able to?

When I was young I was very flexible and able to do them all the time. No Problem! But, when I stopped gymnastics I became less limber and could no longer do them, I felt stuck.

So, every night I started stretching and I would also have someone else help me hold the stretches. After 1 month I was able to do them again no problem just like I use to.

splits.....yeah could never do those

I've been able to do it since I started dancing. When you're little you're much more flexible. Being a dancer for a long time I've kept my flexibility. I can do left, right, and center. But congratulations, if you were working at it that long you obviously really wanted to get it down. :) If you're a dancer it'll make your grande jetes look that much better. :)

I danced all through my childhood and still do today. I was trained very intenseley, so i learned them in about 2 weeks. Now I try and teach my student to do splits and the complain alot, but when I show them that I can still do splits even though I'm 35 and pregnant they train themselves and are able to do a split within a month.

I have my right and left, I can do super splits off the couch, (meaning with a foot two feet off the floor) I can do them suspended between two chairs...but I never got a middle split. 22 years and I still can't do it!

Yep I can go all the way down

Its the weirdest thing I can only do the spits in my hockey gear and I can go almost all the way down, like maybe a inch off! but only the middle way not the other way, im going to start stetching see what I can do!

All the way, all three. I've been dancing and doing gymnastics for about 10 years and could do all splits when I started in kindergarten. I was naturally flexible, lost my splits, and then worked hard to get them back! They are my favorite stretch, I could sleep in my left split its so comfortable.

Merry Christmas, don't forget that Jesus is the reason for the season!!!

It took me about 2 weeks to get my front splits..but ive been stretching since ive got them so i dont loose them!
Yes, i can go all the way down.

Oh and congratz about getting your splits!

only 2, i am somewhat pigeon toed so i have a terrible turnout and i am nowhere close to getting the middle split. it makes me sad.
have been dancing for 4 years and it took me like 4 months to get 2 splits.

i get like a foot between my crotch and the floor....i suck.

I can do it all the way, both sides and in the center. I've always been able to do it, I was lucky and never had to work to it.

not yet! but im practicing every day three times a day and im close...so soso close haha.

nice job!
i'm almost there. not quite but almost!
