  just be warey of gimick flexibility training programmes that promise unrealisticly fast results. Flex training takes time. Even for someone who is naturally flexibile.

  True that! I am just doing the old fashioned approach. Takes patience and time. I got some great tips and stretch variations and that’s great.

  I just started doing the stretches on http://gymnastics.about.com/od/trainingadvice/ss/centersplit.htm

  I really feel my hips today from this one: http://gymnastics.about.com/od/trainingadvice/ss/centersplit_4.htm

  And I'm very relieved to have stretches for straddle/center splits that don't put pressure on the inside of my knees!

  Onwards and upwards, I say! (or downwards in this case, lol)
