The splits are no easy feat. It takes time and a LOT of patience. But, as they say, practice makes perfect. Here are some tips. When attempting your "split" make sure you keep your legs STRAIGHT, no matter how low to can go...keep them straight. Make sure you practice each side evenly and don't forget your middle splits. When sliding into the middle splits keep your feet flexed and stay on your heels to keep the proper turn out in the split.
Hold each split for at least 10 seconds. A tip for the more flexible...if the splits are not a problem, then try to push yourself to go even further. You can place a stack of books next to each foot and attempt to sink your splits while suspended in air.
Keep Stretching!
