By stretching extensively and regularly you can gain the necessary flexibility to achieve the splits position. Depending on the amount of time you devote to stretching and how flexible you are starting off, you can get into a split relatively quickly. Dress yourself in comfortable, flexible clothing. Make sure your shorts or pants have a lot of stretch in them to be able to move with your body. Yoga pants, exercise shorts, or sweatpants are great options. If you don’t own any of these, you can use normal leggings. Get an exercise or yoga mat, yoga blocks, and a bolster to use, or any suitable alternative(s). Find a clear space on the floor to lay out your mat to begin. If you are on a carpeted floor, a mat may not be necessary. Fill up a water bottle to keep close. Staying hydrated is important for any type of physical activity. Dehydration can also cause muscle fatigue and reduce your ability to stretch your muscles to their full capacity. Perform an overall body warm-up exercise. Spend about 5 to 10 minutes lightly jogging or doing jumping jacks to warm up your body and get your heart rate up. This will loosen your muscles preparing them for a deeper stretch. // Lunge and squat to begin to stretch your leg muscles.
