How to Get Your Splits Fast!

Hey guys post of the day stretched on in. Today I'll be showing some exercises on how to get your splits fast.  First of all make sure to drink plenty of water at least 8 glasses a day by doing this it gives you the hydration, energy, strength, and flexibility.  This is because your body is actually made up mostly of water and it maintains body fluids.
Second Stretch everyday! I highly recomened because everyday you stretch you gain a little bit of flexibility that you don't notice. Yet that may seem pointless and a waste of time but just like many exercises such as core, leg and arm strength is very important to do daily in order to keep your strength and motivation. When stretching your going to make your legs hurt but all of that will pay off plus that s good because you know that your pushing your self which leads to incredible things. Exercises that highly help splits and keep you on toes include.....
1. Backbends-Backbends, how does have to do with splits? you might be wondering. Well Back bends are super important for splits this is because when doing the splits it's important to lean back as far as you can arching your back for stretching your splits sand it can lead to the ability to do other flexibility moves such as scorpions, needles, spirals, haircutters and all that good stuff.
2. Spirals-find a stabilized table put both hands about 4-5 inches apart from your upper body maybe more or less depending on your size  now with the feet try put your legs a ruler and a few inches away kick your leg as high as you can and have someone push it higher and have them hold it for 3o sec.  Don't forget to straighten your legs if you can. Until you're more flexible it's important to do it by your self. This helps because it's basically doing the splits on one leg standing up you can till by the pic below. Things to think about when your doing this.
1. am I leaning way back?
2. am I leaning way to forward?
3. are my legs about even with each other?
4. am I arching my back?
5. are my hips squared like is my hip facing to the side instead of down?

Nice spiral exercise, in this case it doesn't show a nice arched back sorry about that.

3. Floor exercises- Here are some floor exercises you should do for splits.
1. lay on the floor then with one had and one leg pull on leg as far as you can! Make sure when doing this that the leg on the floor doesn't pop up. A good way to get a really good stretch is have someone keep the leg on the floor by lightly pressing on it and have them pull more towards your body.
2. sit against a wall FYI this is a great exercise for straddle as well. Now put one leg against the wall straighten that leg. With the other leg bend it towards you and try to push your knee against the wall hold for 30 sec. Then do the same to the other side.
3. Next this stretch is kind of like criss cross apple sauce but, the only difference is that you don't feel a stretch from criss crossing and that both feet touch each other. Now in that position put your head to your feet and use your elbows to push your knees down. Hold this position for 30 sec.
4. Put your knee on the floor with the other foot put it in front of you and straighten, make sure your foot is flat on the floor if you are doing this correctly you should feel a stretch in your ankle and the part where your legs are connected to your hips down where see the picture above if you were to draw a straight line across. Do the same to the other side hold each for 30 sec.
5. Put your foot on the floor creating a 90 degree angle with the other leg put it straight behind you make sure your leg is locked. hold it for 30 sec. do the same to other side.  If your doing this correctly then you should feel a stretch in the same area of the stretch above.
Now your ready try the splits warming up these stretches should make the splits easier and less painful try the splits! If you can't go all the way down then it helps to have someone push on your shoulders and have them hold it there for you and make sure to do the other side. When doing the splits also make sure to put your head to your leg and hold for 3o sec. Then lean back and arch your back as far as you can and also hold for 30 sec.

Nice splits leaning back

Keep doing this every day even when you can get all the way down because it's a good habit and raises your good spirits. Stretching is a good way to calm and make you feel more confident in your self. Stretching also helps see other peoples perspective because when people see me do the splits and they try and are un able it makes me feel more aware of what it's like on the other side and makes me more understanding. This doesn't just apply in stretching it applies in life as well. Anyways once you get the splits it can lead to the scorpion! Thank you hoped this helped.
