Learning the Splits??? Is it possible for me??
I have been working on my splits lately and was curious if anyone else taught themselves when they were older? I am 23 and have never been able to do the splits (although it’s not something I attempted until now either)…
I just wanted to know if anyone has any tips or ideas and, like I mentioned, I’m curious about who (if anyone) learned to do the splits on their own when they were a bit older.
Thanks https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

there’s a great search function (see upper right hand corner of the studioveena site) and tons of threads on splits and flexibility:

btw… 23 isn’t considered "old" here. i’m 29 and didn’t start poling until i was 25, but there are lots of inspiring ladies here who started poling in their 30s, 40s, and 50s… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif and a few who just recently got splits!

I’m 26 and will be 27 here in March and I haven’t gotten the splits yet. Just recently (like last week) started to get serious on this one. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif I think that should be my birthday goal. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif To get the splits before March 30’th. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif

I’m age 29 and I did the splits for the first time in my life just within this past year https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif . I was not able to do them as a child—even with taking gymnastics classes https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif

@Loopy – Congrats on getting your splits! That is so awesome!!!!
@Kobajo – Good luck on getting your splits! I bet you can make it by your birthday!
Thanks again to ‘amyxshl’ for the links! They were so motivating. It’s great to know I’m not the only one hoping to accomplish this – and even better seeing girls who have!

Kobajo let’s do it together, my bday is the day before yours remember! I’m way closer to my middle splits than my front ones though so I’ll try for those probably…maybe I can get those and then still have time for front and back…hmmm! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Absolutely! I took gymnastics when i was younger and have always been quite flexible and limber but never the splits…btw, I am 40 (ugh!) I started poling when i was 38..I am 3 inches off the floor in my front splits–I was 8-10"when i started–and about 6" off in my straddle splits…stretching just becomes a daily activity for me now https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
