I agree with you.

i think you guys are missing the point. yes, u must be flexible to do this , but more importantly you have to me really strong. thats also how they do their leaps and jumps =)

I feel sorry for you really...I don't have any experiences about your problem. But in my opinion, your parents and your coach have the best experiences. Don't feel shy when you ask them. It's for your right foot, too so you don't end up having a big problem in your foot and other parts after recieving many injuries from past. RG needs more patience, RG gymnast. Rememeber that so good luck. =D

i'm a gymnast too but i kinda started quite late, when i was 11 but my coach says i'm born rather flexible so ppl dun believe dat i started so late but d problem is my thighs..they're reli big,i'm d fattest in my class...any body noes any remedies? n my right foot keeps getting injured coz of a weight problem so does anybody noe wat 2 do bout dat?

And every lesson of RG, show your coach the move which you are having a problem with and she can tell you you're improving or she can help you and give you advices and hints!

Here's my opinion, RG gymnasts. A move which you can't do, you can first of all ask your coach about it and how it works, then you practice everyday even during lessons...see how long it is possible for you to make the move you can't do. I recommend 5 or 6 minutes for each moce but one by one so you don't recieve serious pain and careful. That's my opinion. Good luck. =)

It takes a long time...believe me. I can't do over splits perfectly since July. You need to do it slowly so you don't get hurt even when you grow up so be careful. You can push yourself harder a little. No one is perfect. =)

Hey Dw Any One Can Be Flexible If U Work Hard Enough Like WHen I Was 7 I Was Always Jelous of my freinds who were sat in splits chatting away i just couldnt bend in any position! but i suppose all that determination just made me want to stretch over and over again just keep trying and you will get there like i love being able to watch tv in front splits and leaning over kneee haha

I do rhythmic gymnastics and I have been for 12 years, and I just want to warn everyone that trying to become as flexible as most rhythmis gymnasts without a trainer present to help you do the stretches correctly is extremely dangerous and could lead to permanent damage. If you are serious about becoming this flexible, I highly suggest finding someone who knows what they're doing to help you out so as to help you avoid injury.

lol same here. i dunno, ive tried stretching everyday. its working a little. maybe not alot but its still something.

im 13 and i want to be able to hold my leg up in the splits too......i feel so left out

hey im 14, and i can just do the splits on my right leg. Does anyone know good stretches where i can improve in side splits and straddle?

probablt not :/ they train for hours and hours a week and its not just stretching

ye i would love to be flexible like them too! but i don't know what exercises to do without hurting my back (its rather weak)

yupp you can get flexible like them because i do rhythmic gymnastics and i am almost like them my back is almost like them but my splits its like theirs sooo anyone out there you can be like that too!!!

omg yehh ppl cn get rele jelous if yuur flexy

wow I`m a ChEer and Y liked Your woRk!!!!!!!

Sure. You just need to do the right stretches for a few hours a week. Trust me I have been dancing since I was 6 and I am now 12.I am almost like them. BUT You may get taunted out of jealosy by some people

Hey everyone ..
I am 15 years old, can I still get so flexible? Maybe not as flexible as they are but a little similar?
I am at the moment able to do the splits and I have dancing experiences.
