[@skylahelbig6818]

Tip for doing splits: its always easy to give up once u start feeling the pain and soreness, so i recommend doing something else whilst you're stretching. Eg) whilst sitting in that position, do you homework, after one page, change your position and proceed. this way, you're not just looking at the timer being like OMG WHEN IS IT GONNA STOP HURTING AHHH. It also motivates you to do your work since your stopwatch is whenever you finish that page, so you're killing 2 birds w/ 1 stone by motivating urself to do both. You can also draw, play the piano etc. etc. whatever you like, just keep your mind distracted so you're not just sitting there thinking about how painful it is and when that 30 seconds is over.

[@janeburnham295]

some tips from a somewhat flexible person -stretch everyday for 30 minutes and eventually you'll be able to do it -those bands are not at all necessary and don't do anything really -I like psychetruth's 12 minute split tutorial -then hold the splits 60-50-40-30-20-10 seconds -the before and after was extremely fake. Different legs being stretched (everyone has a more flexible leg) and hips were not at all square. It's super easy to fake the splits -if you stretch everyday it'll eventually happen

[@NoodleHead14]

What do you mean by square ur hips?

[@janeburnham295]

NoodleHead14 make sure both hips are facing forwards, not to the side :)

@@gracelikerain5039 if you want to get it fast, it's best to do it six days a week for at least 15 minutes. I do it 3 times a week since the year started and I'm slowly getting better. Now in quarantine I have more time so I do it more often

Payton Alpaugh how could they be injured? They were stretching their muscles, the worst thing that could happen is a pulled muscle. Obviously they aren’t going to push themselves so seriously that they injure themselves.

I pulled my hamstrings few years back when attempting a split and they still have not recovered...doctors don't know what to do besides telling me to slowly stretch it out

Kylie Crawford It's just most things were wrong which could lead to an injury which they may not feel in the moment but still they seemed clueless, stretching is very important but one wrong move can be tragic.

Also with a professional it would have taught them technique on the split and how to stretch because the main problem was the stretches were not correct stretches nor done correctly.

It depends on the activity being done. The splits can be a warm up, but that's the end goal in this video, and which they don't have yet, therefor, they need to stretch (warm up) for the splits before doing the actual splits

[@lumos9507]

I’m a flexible 15 year old girl. But it is a difficult thing not something that can be learned in a day it took me a very long time. I’ve been dancing for 12 years so it is not easily accomplished. But anybody can do it if they really wanted to. I know a 13 year old boy who is way more flexible than I am. I think a lot of it has to to do with the age because the younger you are the more elasticity you have. Also some people are just more flexible. It’s not this superpower or anything. But I think people like showing it off because it is hard to do

[@icsk8grrl]

This would have been more motivational if they had done 1 month or 2 months, not 2 weeks....Who really can safely get their body ready to do full, correct, healthy splits in that amount of time? And in jeans? You can force yourself to do lots of things, but you can permanently mess yourself up at the same time. Hope Buzzfeed offers good worker's compensation if this is the way their "challenges" are going to be going. I'm happy for their progress and the positive things they took from this assignment. Please take care of your body, you will have to live in it for the rest of your life.

Coming from a dancer, you don’t “learn” splits. You must work for them.

Keira Leigh whats your best tips!!! I want to work for them

[@muscalchars9892]

@Edina Paljevic, since she’s not responding, and I’m a dancer, here are some tips from me. -train everyday, except maybe once possibly twice a week. But only after a while of practicing everyday. -always warm up before practicing with lunges, squats, and simple stretches. -always keep the leg in front straight. Always. -it should always hurt. If not, you aren’t stretching. -go as far as you can into your splits, hold it for one minute, do the other side. -keep your hips facing forward always. Very necessary Hope this helps!

what position do you stop at when you stretch? I mean do you just power through the pain or do you stop and stay in the position that's only somewhat painful?

[@juliannagk9079]

Push into the stretch as far as you can. If you feel pain, figure out if it’s good pain or bad pain. For me, personally, I push until Flexing and relaxing my muscles no longer relieves the pain. As for warm ups, jumping jacks, energetic dancing, I like to do barre stuff to warm up, because I feel like that’s what is best for me.

I am I gymnast and I had been doing it for 3 years and only had my right leg splits fully down and could do it with my front foot on a 10 inch surface. So my coach gave us (me and my best friend) a challenge to see who could get all of their splits down first. So we took on the challenge. We left gym that Sunday ready to come back in the Friday to see who was closest. Turns out because of the competition we both managed to get fully down in all splits and even do oversplits on our bad legs. I’m just saying maybe they could have done better with a little competition thrown in

As a dancer this pained me to watch. You need to stretch so much more in different positions to get your splits. Never push someone down in their splits too, you can break their hip or really injure them. Also you can’t judge the beginning and end with different splits because they’re all different. Also get on top of that knee oml.

[@stellazhou7930]

What I do for cheer is, go down as far as you can in your splits, and put your hands on your head and hold for at least 10 seconds. Your weight will push you down and its a bit painful but not extremely, and it also helps your balance. Practice your splits with your front leg on a raised surface as well and push your hips forward and let your hands touch your feet, aim for 30 seconds and do this everyday. Trust me it helps

[@tritter15]

Some people are naturally more flexible than others. It also depends on how much you work out too (muscles stretch easier after a workout because they’re warmed up). That and how you stretch. Proper form makes the difference.

[@MackZBoss]

I always try to exercise before stretching, because I'm much less flexible otherwise and I've been following yoga and dance stretching videos for proper form (squaring my hips, etc.). But it is true that I was SUPER inflexible before I started stretching- I could barely reach past my knees! It's just difficult to hear them say that they believe that inflexible people could probably get their splits in 3-4 months when I've been trying for so much longer.
