How long should it take to do a split?

Question:If you stretch them every day, then it could take anywhere from 3 weeks to a year.
I myself am completely unflexible and I've been stretching mine every day [on the right] and I'm about 1/4" off the ground on the right side now.
So just keep at it, it won't take you forever...

Do you mean how long does it take to learn? It takes about a few months because your legs need to get used to it.

i have been dancing 15 years. i learned on my 11th year of dance so it took me 11 years. but really i started TRYING top do a split in three months so it acually took me 3 months but people differ.

if your asking "how long i should stretch in my splits?" then my answer is about 2-5 min. (5 if you want a good stretch)

if your asking "how long does it take to get full splits?" then i say it varies on the type of body you have.

personaly it took me one week to do a split with my left leg, another week to do a split with my right leg, and anpther week to do my middle split... in total of 3 weeks to get a 3 way split!
if u dedicate ur self on stretching evryday evrywhere anytime u'll do a split in no time...
i was streching evrywhere...my house, in school, while i was babysitting, dance practice, gymnastics, while i was online, doing my hw. etc...
do it constantly
TIP: when ur doing a split n ur not all the way down don't bounce up and down...hat doesn't help it will only hurt u more.
also try to move ur hips facing foward not side ways....

good luck! ( try to break my record lol )

it depend on your natural flexibility level it took me all of about 3 weeks while other girls on my team are still working at it

It really depends on the person attempting to achieve them. For some people it comes naturally and quickly becuase they are very flexible people. But, just remember you might not be so if it takes longer than you think it should thats okay cause thats how your pelvis is built. Just stretch everyday and you will accomplish them soon enough!

i'm 13 and i have my right and left split
it took me about a year to get me my right
after that i tryed really hard to get my left and i got it over the summer in like 2 months.
