2.) Stretch often - It's best to stretch everyday to get the results that you want. Get your muscles used to being stretched often, and the results will slowly but safely arrive. Start with a front straddle, then alternate each leg in a hurdler stretch.

3.) Partner up: one leg at a time - Lay on your back and have someone sit on one of your legs. Now pull your other leg straight up to your chest (keep straight), and stretch. Your partner should help by gently pushing your leg to your chest. Hold for 30 seconds then relax. Do this 3 times each leg.

4.) Partner up: push down on back - Sit in a straddle stretch and bend down to the floor, have a partner,parent, or friend push down on your mid-back to provide a better stretch. Hold for 30 seconds then relax. Do this 3-5 times.

5.) Don't bounce - Don't bonce as you could hurt your muscles. You don't want any setbacks on your way to getting better splits.

6.) Heel Stretch - Stand up at a wall and pull your heel stretch. At first you may only grab your shin. Once comfortable move to your ankle and eventually grab your foot. Each time try to pull your leg higher and higher until you get a good stretch. Try this will both legs.
