Splits

[Itstrueimagymnast]

How do you get your splits all the way down? I am not all the way down, but I do over splits sometimes, I hold my arms up for the last 10 seconds, and if I tick off my coach, I get pushed down lol. Anyways, any tips for me you have? I need my splits all the way down before our season starts or I will get help getting them down. Stretches and techniques please?
Thanks in advance,

Honestly there is not much you can do other than streach your legs, warm them up as pulling a cold muscle can result in bad things and then just sitting in your split or oversplit, for as long as you can everyday. A lot of people do it while they watch TV, kind of distracts from the pain. Good luck.
