Question: HELP WITH DOING SPLITS!?
After my ballet class finished, I've been almost able to do the splits!. Im not in the class anymore, but I want to be able to go down all the way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Wear clothes that allow you to stretch eg: tracksuit, leotard, swimming costume, shorts etc!.
Watch TV, or read a book because this passes by the time while you are stretching, this will distract you from the pain and allow you to stay in the same position without getting too bored!.
Spread your legs as wide as they will go,and sit with them wide for 10-15 minutes!.
Use something to hold your legs in that wide position such as something heavy and wide like a dresser, a wall, or a person(who slowly widens them with his/her legs)!.
Stand every 10-15 minutes and allow the pain from the stretch to wear off!.
Get stretched faster and do more stretches for the same amount of time!.
Repeat the process and allow your self to stretch wider each time for more minutes (25)at least!.
Remember to breath deeply and stretch more on exhales
Avoid bouncing and rocking into position or having someone painfully force the stretch!. You could tear or damage tendons, ligaments and muscles!.

stick to your usual stretch work out that you did while you were in class!. my advice is anytime your sitting around not doing anything to start stretching, like when your watching tv stretch while the show is on and sit in your splits during commericials or vice versa!.
