"I feel like I can touch my toes a little easier" *bends knees*
Forming Words bends needs less than before...so yes, easier
Forming Words IKR. Also, girl in glasses looks cute 😍
I literally laughed out loud when I saw this comment 😂😂
Shouldn't lock your knees either
@@coreygriffitt4528 I keep my legs straight, what other way is there without bad form?
In gymnastics...and dance, your legs have to be hyperextended to have proper form.
So yes, they must be " locked".
All the dancers/cheerleaders/gymnasts are like "Why wear jeans while doing splits?" 😂
Aileen Tamara McDougall ikr
Yup that's me
So true😂
I do yoga i can also confirm that
ⓘⓚⓡ ⓦⓣⓗ
I used to be able to jump into a split. Now I need a hip replacement.
Oh my god that happened to me, I did it so much (not only that I hadn't warmed up and fell so hard) I injured myself so bad I was out of class for like 2 and a half months doing physio.
@@ila5725 we live life to the fullest
i did it as well but my friend can do it from a leg hold she just does a leg hold and drops down
Oof that might be me when I get older. I can jump into a split and I do it a lot. I also do it with a cartwheel and then I jump into it or I do a handstand and go right into a split. I can also do front and back walkovers into a split.
@@k2088 you must me a drag queen
I am a pre-professional ballet dancer and I have to stress that YOU SHOULD NEVER OVERSTRETCH. Overstretching can weaken your joints and could tear tissues, muscles and tendons.
One time i forced myself to do the splits and everytime i walk i limp and regret it cause it really hurt
Cookiepie Wishes you should see a physiotherapist if it still hurts
@@user-nv6zq2pu5w it doesn't hurt anymore, it happened about a week ago but im fine now but thanks for the tip 😊
Sienna Sanchez how can we master the splits?
How do we know we overstretched...? Cos now Everytime I _try_ to stretch there's this new stabbing pain
i feel so uncomfortable just from watching them stretch in jeans...
and the guy's shorts were wayy too tight he should've pulled the ends up
It make me feel that they'll rip their pants.
Same!!!!
Yup
Right!
Who tf try to do the split while wearing a pair of jeans ??
Nae Va idk man
Nae Va exactly!!
Me
HIPSTERS DUHH
Nae Va I do splits to get into my jeans sometimes but I’m a dancer so I’m weird 😂
The jeans, the not-square hips, the posture... I feel like all us dancers are cringing at these things and more.
Same!
We are
Grace As a former gymnast and dancer, I completely agree LMAO
I'm a skater... But you know same type
Yes I'm a martial artist but I can relate.
Why are they stretching in jeans
That’s like eating with a mask on
Or sleeping with the lights on
Or STRETCHING WITH JEANS ON
GqchaLqtte i sleep with the lights on for about a month after watching a scary movie
Agreed
What’s wrong with sleeping with the light on
Yeah
Lexie Benbow wasting electricity
Step 1: don't wear jeans
avamayvibes exactly
Maybe they were jeggings... 😺
HAHA
grytlappar it's still hard stretching in those....
avamayvibes lol
Shes in jeans tf 💀
IKR IM JUST LIKE WHY JEANSS
she's still the only one who was able to split though, i'm impressed :')))))
krazy khalise I did a split in jeans too.
Omosede Edoigiawerie I see you everywhere, xD!
lol
„stretching kinda hurts.... sometimes“
STRETCHING IS SUPPOSED TO HURT ALL THE TIME.
NO PAIN NO GAIN
IF IT’S NOT CHALLENGING YOU, IT’S NOT GONNA CHANGE YOU
Do you watch Alivia? 😁
Cara Hilse ^^
This comment should have more likes
It's not supposed to hurt that much. Never go beyond your limits. Just stretch every day, remember to breathe and be patient.
@@lettenlina1708 Yeah, that girl who had a lesion and had to stop everything for 3 months because she overstretched. Let's follow her advices, what could go wrong?
That last girl was totally put in here to make it seem like it worked, but she could already do one smh
Probably true. It didn't look like she was stretching to her full capability the first time. Also, having suffered through months of training to be able to do the splits myself, I find it highly unlikely that anyone who starts out as unflexible as these three seemed to be could do a full split in two weeks, regardless how hard they trained.
@@Peonywinx I feel like was once a dancer or had an athletic background
It took me three weeks to get my splits
carlos suarez what stretches did u do? Pls help x were u ever able to before hand?
She admitted in the video that she used to be quite flexible before.
Dear people stretching/attempting the spits in jeans... Don't. They give no stretch, they're restrictive, and make you look a lot less flexible than you are... And you'll hurt yourself. Don't do it.
Maddison Telford Pateman I ripped my jeans trying to do a split haha
Some One Exactly! They’re not exactly conducive to stretching...
Maddison Telford Pateman Yeah.
& you never stretch while cold. If you do it takes 24 hrs for your muscles to go back to normal, you’re better off stretching after being warm like going to a barre class
I always do splits in jeans
Rules of learning the split:
1: do not wear jeans!
when you are trying to do the splits yourself and your cat playfully (and almost mockingly) walks under your legs basically laughing about the great distance between you and the floor...
Amalia Hough
I relate!
😂
My kitty Rayne (my profile pick) does it all the time. She also sits on me while I’m doing yoga... :/
😂😂😂😂 too funny
Kaedee Valerie ü
@@KL-xs5qq hahaha I wish my cats were that friendly
@@KL-xs5qq thats so frickin cute 🥰
Im not even a dancer but im cringing at the jeans
I need to commit to stretching daily... this motivated & discouraged me all at once
LaReyna DeBachata I'm trying to stretch daily as well. Try starting out with just a few stretches to get used to doing it regularly and then work up to doing more at a time, that's what I'm doing
It actually truly works lol. I joined dance and stretched everyday to become more flexible and got my splits in 2 weeks too! (:
It works, even if you do it twice a week and properly. I have dance classes once in a week and I’m pretty flexible. So, go for it! 😆
LaReyna
LaReyna DeBachata yup
Tip from a gymnast:
Never do the splits in jeans
Annabel you could have told me that years ago when I tried that, and lets just say, it didn't end well.....for the jeans.
Annabel yep
Annabel or a skirt!!!
KBOB nah a skirt is okay
not a tight one tho
i can do them in jeans .
The only split i do is the banana split.
Lol😂😂
The best comment 🙌
Whats that
I used to do with my friend
Ok so as a dancer I cringed about a LOT of things but the worst thing was the non-squared hips
literally!!! Why is noone mentioning it 😂
What are squared hips? I want to learn to be flexible but not wreck myself in the process and everyone talks about squared hips
@@glompxme It's difficult to explain without an image, but if you want to learn how to be more flexible without hurting yourself go to these channels: Alivia d'Andrea, Anna McNulty and Auti Kamal.
Lady Yeah sorry for the late reply, but squaring your hips is when your hips and butt are facing forward.
Yea! It’s not called the splits unless your EVERYTHING is flat on the floor with square hips and that makes so much difference🤦🏻♀️ though I do fake splits all the time 👀
I might sound picky but as a dancer it annoys me when people say “learn the splits “ you don’t learn them you work for them like a six pack
Emerald Beach six pack is a fake liberal lie
Emerald Beach EXACTLY THAT'S WHAT I SAID
Emerald Beach yeah, you LEARN how to TRAIN for them, loosen up. It was never that serious, it's just wording
Well technically your muscles are learning to stretch out.. so 🙃
Ikr
I'm a ballerina so here's a tip from me: never wear jeans while doing the splits
Dania Hassan same. Being a ballerina, we always know what the do's and don'ts are
Agreed and I can't even dance
Some jeans are stretchable but same, I wouldn't rely on jeans while doing the splits - not even the stretchy ones.
Cindy i do jazz, hiphop, lyrical, and ballet
@@Cindy-mx7sx so? everyone knows not to do splits in jeans.
if you want to be very flexible and you give up easily, while your stretching and you feel pain say “no pain, no gain” over and over again and it will remind you that the pain is a good thing and it means you’re improving. if u have no pain then your not pushing yourself enough.
Depends on the type of pain. Bone pain can cause irreversible injuries.
What would you recommend to becoming flexible? This video seemed a bit staged.
@@goldenb2395 there are many videos on YT that tell u how to stretch, just look them up and take a look in the comments to see if it works
@@goldenb2395 for splits,what helped me was building up muscle and working out. The reason why is because I was activating the WRONG muscles and I strained myself. Once you work out,you'll be able to feel those muscles active correctly. Also stretch for the pull not the pinch. Some positions will be uncomfortable but if theres ever a pinch then STOP what you're doing.
I’m okay with pain, but feeling purely uncomfortable is torcher
Tip from a pro Yoga artist:
*NEVER* do the splits without warming up
Any other tips for splits?
1) Always do them wearing leggings or in something you can stretch in
2) Do them on a yoga mat, *NEVER* do it on the floor
3) Keep believing in yourself !
@@jeongbread1712 In Taekwondo we do splits on the floor
It would be better if they give them a month
M14th _M two weeks is not enough time for adults to learn like kids learn splits easier because they learn them while muscles are developing so their muscles think it’s normal but it takes longer for adults so yeah a month would have been way better
Seriously,I was a bit flexible in my hip flexibility,but I got my splits in a month by stretching near daily
I needed a whole year of stretching to achieve a full split. For some, a few months might be enough, but this challenge was bound to fail anyway
@@mikahann458 how bout 8 year olds?
The last girl could do it, so two weeks is enough if you put in the work.
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.
Skyla Helbig THANK YOU like you are saving my life cuz it really hurts :D
Lol I'm just watch youtube videos
I am just imagining someone sitting on a piano bench in a butterfly stretch whilst playing the piano
lol yeah thats wat i was thinking
1 thing we have testing in my school so no homework for 2 weeks.
I can’t believe people work out and then don’t stretch afterwards. You can save yourself so much pain days
5:39 she already knew how to do the spits because did anyone else notice she was using hot opposite leg that time?..🙄🙄😒😂😂
GUURRRRRRL legit
Ohhhh. I just noticed!!!
Yeah that's what I thought
Maybe she realised that her opposite leg ( the one she used the first time ) was her bad leg cause I used to try my splits in my right leg but couldn't do it but tried my left leg and did it in 3 or 4 days until now I haven't got my right and but I'm extremely close though
She probs realised that it was her bad leg
I mean...congrats on running the NYC marathon..
I know. I'm pretty sure that's a bigger accomplishment, even if his knee slowed him down.
unlocked Vvtf.
unlocked yess
As someone with a Hypermobility disorder, when I was a child I thought everyone could move like me and my sister. Then we had to do flexibility tests in Elementary school and I was so far above everyone else I was shocked. Turns out being able to turn yourself into a pretzel is not normal. Who knew?
megglesmac I’m the same!!!
megglesmac not to be rude, but why is it a disorder?
Miss Estee I’m pretty sure that’s just what they call it 🤷♀️
me to!
@@missestee1450 because it's easier to dislocate a joint for people with hypermobility. Also, most of them have joint pains when they are older.
As a gymnast, cheerleader, and dancer, I recommend not doing splits in jeans lmao. They probably could’ve gone a lot farther if they weren’t in jeans.
they also probably could of gone farther if they did a warmup every time before stretching. another thing that I think would of helped is if they did more types of stretching
Ikr
i stretched every day and it took me two months to get my splits...
I am really hopeless in flexibility. But I am determined. Do you have some guide?
How often?
윤채은 use anna mcnulty's splits video. her video helped me get my middle splits so i guess her splits video works as well
@@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
@@yaellev-shomer3124 whos stretches do u do (what vid do u use)
This would be a lot easer if you weren’t wearing jeans 😂
One time I slid in mud and did the splits
Mauds Valentine I feel sorry fir u 😂😂😂
Mauds Valentine same lol plus mine was at school outside xD
One time I slid in mud then slid into the ambulance
HAHAHAHA thank you all for this
Mauds Valentine that happened to me when I was on my trampoline and it was wet
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
@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!
Totally Not Gothic Peaches thank you so much for the tips!!!
As a gymnast I am screaming JUST DONT WEAR JEANS
Jane Doe i feel like everyone is screaming lol

Eeem,can i ask you?why you trying to stretch while wearing skinny jeans?
My full range of movement can be covered by “skinny” jeans
yeah
Knight Deva I can do the splits in skinny jeans but I see what you mean
Knight Deva bolilates
Knight Deva hi

Starting point: *tries left splits*
End of stretching: *tries right splits*
Me:whaaa?
"I'm not that flexible at all!" (says the guy trying to stretch in skinny jeans)
1. I did my splits
2. I showed everyone at school
3. I got popular
4. I came back from school
5. Got tired
6. Went to bed
7. Woke up
The actual order is 4 5 6 1 2 3 7 🙂😅
Ye
Thats goooddd!!

I mean it supposed to be Green,Green is good
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
I can do all spilts including squared splits and over splits and it does take a lot of time to learn. You really do just have to stretch and work through it. You guys did great for two weeks! I did learn my right splits like you and stretched and stretched then it got easier and easier my. My left splits, middle splits, and over splits came after. Just keep trying! (And stretching)
It took ME 2 MONTHS and they did it in 2 WEEKS
creds to those ppl
Rand Ibrahim it took me 2 months and 28 days
It took me 1,5 year lollll
Tube You were you un flexible or were you already flexible
Took me 4 days to get my left splits by just pushing my legs to from a lounge but I still don't have my middle and right splits also I can almost do a full needle
It took me 20 minutes lol
Step 1: put some yoga pants on
Step 2: warm-up
Step 3: stretch
Every day
Someone In the middel of no where for how long?
Ina Beb try keep 2 to 3 minutes in each position, doing this during 20 min to 40 min ever day will help you a lot! BTW... respect your limits, some people are more flexible than others.
You hit the nail on the head!
What kind of stretches ??
Nouricorn Bleh stretch your hip flexors, your quads, your glutes, your hamstrings, and your calves. Once you can get a split, if you want to go even father, bend forward at the hips (while in the split) and try to touch your nose to your knee. You can also bend backwards and/or bend your back leg until it hurts.
Fitness goal: slowly slip into a split mid conversation while maintaining eye contact
I love seeing people make challenges for themselves :) So many things you think you can’t do until you try.
I'm a gymnast and I have my splits and so watching this made me feel really good inside to see that people are trying their best at doing their splits and trying something new. Good job! 👍😉
Constance Oke if I may ask you something,could you please help me? I did the split and I felt something rip inside my leg,it didn't hurt that much and it diesen hurt when I'm walking or so,but when I try to do the split again it hurts...realy...is it something serious or should I just go easy for a while? Please help!
Just take it easy for a while and if it still hurts then I would go to your parents.
Constance Oke but can it be anything serious,I heard that you can tear your muscle.. .I'm kind of worried.. .
You can tear muscle. So if you think that you did you might want to go to a doctor.
Constance Oke well is that Really Bad?becuse i dont have strong pain,only when i try doing the Split again...can that heal alone...becuse i Really dont want to go.. ..
*as a gymnast I am TRIGGERED*
hazza trigger jokes aren't funny
Same
SAMEEEE except a cheerleader😂
I don't get y
hazza as a dancer I am triggered
the jeans part really bothered me and who else is watching in 2019?
She was so happy when she got into the spilts
I remember one time at school, I was in a crowd of people and slid on a small bit of mud in a puddle and then slid into the splits.
I don't think I'd be alive if I couldn't do them.
Doll Ilinea Well done 😂
pot noodles that has happened to me it’s so embarrassing tho😂😂😂
When I was 8 years old this girl in my class at school slipped into the splits during sports and she WAS NOT flexible at all and she was crying so much in pain, it was traumatic even for me and that's why I learned how to do the splits
pot noodles i was at home a their was water on the group and i slid into my splits and i think i cried
wait you can do them
Wearing jeans while splitting? 😂
I go lower in jeans actually
JM MARTIN aint nobody gonna be splitting in the club in yoga pants
Believe me when I tell you that it is possible
Weird
JM MARTIN i did it actually
I just started doing pretty intensive yoga and I feel amazing with the constant stretching! Strongly recommend! Just she said, it feels almost therapeutic
I stretch after every workout (once a day) 6 days a week and have been doing so for months but those stretches weren’t deep as I didn’t care about flexibility as much as I did about my strength/coordination/endurance like my muscles in general. However I remember as a teen and I once trained for the splits as part of our roller skate show (after school) and it took me 3 weeks.
So now that I’ve seen sooo much progress in terms of like my body changing, growing muscle, it’s a whole new world of like body awareness and precision of movement even in every day life I LITERALLY stand tall feeling strong inside and out.
But since I stretch 10min a day 6-7 times a week anyway- why not go for it and do the 12mins Get Your Splits in 2 Weeks Routine and see what happens 🤷🏼♀️
Good video, keep up the good work 🙌🏻 (gosh how bloody British that sounded haha 😛)
I am dying at them doing it in jeans. Also their technique is soooo bad like square your hips please. They should've had a dancer who actually taught them correctly instead of just increasing their flexibility.
I agree! They could have really hurt themselves! I fully expected them to consult a dance or gymnastics instructor (the way they had Kristi Yamaguchi teach figure skating in that other recent video), but they didn't. This isn't the same as learning to juggle or solve a Rubik's Cube in a short amount of time, yo!
I agree so much wowow
Why a dancer why not a gymnast or contortionist those people do more flexibility
Or a yoga instructor
Or a PT so that they can look at their form and provide stretching techniques for them. I agree that some professional should have been overseeing them to make sure they're practicing safely
But only 1/3 people actually made it and i feel like that girl knew how to do the splits since the begging
She probably did because her before and after we’re on different legs
Trinity Swan but the other girl Sarah used her opposite leg too
At the beginning she said her goal was to get her flexibility back which infers that she was able to do splits in the past
"Stretch into the pain, breath into the pain"
Me: *trying to breath into pain*
as a past (rec) gymnast, former dancer of ten years, and current cheerleader of four years, their form is killing me they chills have gave them a month
Everyone is being harsh but i give these guys credit. Most buzzfeed people say the skipped days or "forgot" when they do challenges. These people were consistant and showed some improvement.
they would've done better if they did an actual split stretch
Mia Auten where can i find those stretchs
Hajar Rais check out fiercelivy she has some really good stretching videos!:)
HonesTLY that really bugged me, the stretches they were doing didn’t really help much for a split itself, should’ve done a split stretch with both legs and also a side as well
Mia Auten So True! That really bothered me.
Uma Lindström thank u sooo much
“These are my stretchy jeans!” Me: *laughs through the pain*
That voice crack at the end though 😂😂

Same and I'm 12 and I got a 17 so Idk if that's good for my age
Now I know what I’m gonna do quarantined for the next 3 weeks
3 weeks... It's been 9 months 😔😔
jeans. *jeans* . *_jeans_*
I have all my 3 splits and let me tell you it wasn’t easy! Took over 4 months to get my right and left and about 9 months to get my middle! So if it isnt going fast for you its ok, consistency is key❤️
I got all mine in 1 month, it's on the persons own amount of flexibility, my other friend on the other hand worden 2 years just to get her right splits.
I need to get all 3 splits for varsity cheer. If I get them all and am good at cheer I can make varsity my freshman year
am i the only one that just has all of them naturally?haha i'm so annoying right
Same but I regret not stretching my bad leg as much as my good leg before because I recently got my bad leg splits and I have a pretty good over split for my good leg
Uma Lindström same!
as a dancer and gymnast this is soo funny to watch
and please dont stretch in jeans
kyngwn ok dance mumba! I'm a dancer too but who cares! It's not funny it's nice to see that people accually try and to see that how far they went pff...your prob like those dance girls things that laughs when someone can't do it....well they can
Yep and my coach always says your not as far as you can go until both your legs are straight so they aren’t even stretching as far as they could x
cookie girl oh my god hahah i didnt mean for it to sound mean i just meant it was fun to watch sorry
And point your toes ! 😂
kyngwn I only wear super skinny jeans and I can do the soilts 8 different ways
Me: *sees thumbnail*
My dance teacher in my brain: neither of those is a split
Normal people: "OUUUCH!"
Dancers: *does their oversplit*
"have we started already"
It looks like they didn't warm-up beforehand I can feel my legs hurt watching this
Sameeee
Shimmy Stylinson same! Who TF stretches cold...
isn't stretching a warm up?
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
Slytherin's heir how do you warm up for a stretch?
They need to warm up their muscles if they want to really stretch properly and it will hurts less anyway
She gave me confidence and faith in my self

😂😂this hit right to the core
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
What do you mean by square ur hips?
NoodleHead14 make sure both hips are facing forwards, not to the side :)
Jane Burnham ooooh ok, thank you 😊
If you use bands it can help and other things that arent necessary can help too because everyone is different -.- so umm
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.
Carolyn Segovia it’s fake she swapped her legs
Dedication my friend got her split in a week keep stretching
yeah, I also thought the time was just not enough. I learned my splits in 1 month and my starting flexibility was waaaays better than theirs.
+Amrisa Aujila that doesn't mean its fake. she could've just chosen to switch legs
No one in the video actually got their splits too 😂 yah she swapped her legs but she still wasn’t all the way down with straight legs and pointed feet
i actually managed to go into splits in 2 weeks as a gymnast, i worked pretty hard and often, you should definetely not rush it tho..
Im learning a split right now and its been about 2 months and im still not perfect. But I feel my flexibility coming back piece by piece and its great! I feel much better and try to strech every day.
I was born naturally flexible but I'm not flexible enough to do the splits and I'm too lazy to do the splits lmao
cool
Omg same
I can do splits very easily, like just practicing two weeks too.
But I'm too lazy :(
Paigeythe Pigeon I’m not born naturally flexible but one day my splits were bad next day I got them and I’m the most flexible in my dance class
Same 😂
Paigeythe Pigeon I am naturally flexible and I can put my foot over my head😂
"Mom are you proud of me?"
😂😂😂😂😂
Stretching is so much more than everyone thinks. People be like o the splits aren’t hard lots of people can do that, your not special. But I stretched every single day for almost a whole fricking year! So yeah me doing the splits is special and it was a lot of hard work and I’m really proud :)
Two weeks?!!!!
Damn I’ve been trying for the past 5 months and still going

Say that to the only one who did the splits, in JEANS!
hiko73 I guarantee it would have happened faster without the jeans.
as a figure skater and dancer, i honestly felt their pain. it took me like two weeks to break into the splits, hundreds of lunges, pipes, etc everyday. i'm so glad it's over.
what all stretches would you recommend to help us become flexible enough to do the splits?
gloumie lol same
QTAngel LOTS of lunges, pipes, straddles, low lunges, long lunges, pigeons, etc. i watched Blogilates video
QTAngel streach everyday
I’m sorry. But this is such an innuendo 😭😭😂😂
You guys all did so well!
“I feel like flexible people can save lives”... ugh, miss the old Buzzfeed casts
*all dancers collectively cringe at the bad form and laugh at the fact they think they can do it in two weeks*
Marco Molinaro except that one of them DID get it in 2 weeks so all dancers apparently are morons then
A Kayfabe "dancers apparently are morons then" okay then
She wasnt all the way on the ground and her form sucked so she DIDNT get it in two weeks
yes lol
A Kayfabe all dancers are morons?
Can you please link the stretches you did to get the splits down?
I feel like a clown considering the fact that it took me a year and a half to get my split
how much time did you spend on it? was it on a daily basis or just few times a week and how long?
the flexible teenage girls in this comment section are killing me
Just Your Average Demigod: ikr

Excuse me I’m a flexible teenage boy, I will cut you

when you're lazy like me though, flexibility isn't possible.
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
When I became a dancer it took me 3 months of daily stretching for 2 hours a day doing all range of hip, thigh, ankle, pelvis motions.
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?
Robertking1996 what did you do usually like warming up and what motions you usually because I really want to split and I got three good months right now
I got my split in the first week of me doing gymnastics I have no idea how but I think I just went for it and didn't care about the pain and just went down
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've found a reason for my life...those little things can make me and you happy inside even if you didn't recognize it..
aww that girl with glasses is so adorable 💕💕
how’s this girl trying to get more flexible but stretching in jeans 🤦🏼♀️
These people should have had help from a professional, must things were very wrong and they could be seriously injured!!
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
joesr31 Then it’s probably a tear in the hamstring. But they are not going to push themselves to were they hurt themselves.
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.
To every grown up who dreams of getting their splits down: YOU CAN DO IT. No matter what people tell you. It will probably take you longer than a child but you’re still able to do it if you practice a few times a week.
I’m 19 and wanted to be able to do the splits literally my whole life. But from when I was about 14 people kept telling me “You’re too old you’re never gonna be *that* flexible (I didn’t wanna be a contortionist, it’s “just” the splits)” so I practiced every now and then but never really believed in me. A few months ago I began stretching 2-6 times a week and now I almost have my splits, it’s only like 1 1/2 more inches. I’m so proud of myself because I’ve always wanted to do it and now I can ☺️ Thanks to all those yogis I follow on Instagram because many of them started age 20 or more so that really motivated me :)
Gymnast: The splits are easy
Me: you just learned, so now DO THE MIDDLE SPLITS!!
😂😂
