I've been stretching off an on for about a year seriously. I started at somewhere around 8 – 11 inches in front splits – i'm down to about 4-2 inches on them and still about 12-16 off from middle splits.
I had to spend a lot of time researching different methods of stretching until it hit me that I needed to use all sorts of stretch methods to get what I want.
I've done resistance stretching with Ottersocks and that was AMAZING! I was able to see gains almost right away but I still had to incorporate moving stretches and passive stretches.
I think it's good to try everything and see how your body reacts. I have my own little workout that I designed which is a lot of floor work for moving stretches which helps me from getting bored, resisatance stretches peppered with some pst stretches followed by passive stretches.
When I am available to – I also take aerial yoga which has really helped me out a ton! Traditional mat pilates is awesome too – I mean traditional pilates not the newer core based workouts that stray from the traditional style. If you check out ballet warm up's there are a lot of great stretches in there too – plies are amazing for opening your hips if you do them correctly.
Oh and I'm 31 so any gains I've made have been since I turned 30 lol!

@Kat Pole Princes – Wow!!! That guy is awesome! How in the heck did he figure that out?! I'm gonna have to try that out for myself.

@amazonlady its really cool and inexpensive!!! really helps me with the middle split!!! just make sure you get old school crutches. meaning, you need crutches that can screw and unscrew.
@charley. what are ottersocks?
-

Check out this lady! She is 57 and started stretching/doing yoga seriously at age 47 after not having done any gymnastics training for 30 years! I don't know how flexy she was born but it is still inspiring that she is super flexible at her age!I think the daily stretching had to have helped!

I like too how she uses the yoga blocks to do oversplits and slide into splits. Will remember that for my own use.
