Can you do the splits?
« on: August 06, 2013, 08:47:31 pm »
I was watching some Youtube videos and one had instructions on how to do a split.  I guess that's kind of on my bucket list.  I can't do it (yet) but I want to learn.

Yes I was on my high school's dance team it was a requirement. Just keep stretching and you will be able to do the splits in no time!!

I use to be able to do the scissors splits and the straddle splits.  I was the only one on my high school cheerleading squad that could do the saddle splits.  My legs would probably break if I tried to do them now.
Have a wonderful day!

I am way past doing the splits. I tried to learn how to do that in Junior High and failed. I could never get al the way to the floor and gave up. I decided I would never be that limber. Now that I am in my 50s ther is now way! I have trouble doing a sit-up with this bellican!

A "few" years ago I taught Aerobics classes.  I always had my classes stretch out before we got started......I could do the splits easily then.

I cannot anymore.....

When I was younger, I was capable of jumping long and high, a fast runner, and strong legs.  I never could do the splits.   :sad1:  :-[

no and I am not very interested in doing the splits. learning how to do them sounds like a painful experience.
