   Are you serious? You started at 2? :O
   I started at like 4 or 5 but we never did splits. I only started doing splits at 9 in another activity.

   But actually it’s true , splits don’t have age limitations haha.

5. kookie2106 Said,

   Just practice …
   Just practice everyday. Push yourself a little but not too much. You should feel the stretch but if you feel sharp pains then stop. Just push yourself a little further everyday. Do a side split and aim for your stomach to reach the ground. Remember to keep your knees straight. The split doesn’t have to be 180 degrees. It will get there slowly. Hope that helps (:

   @Susanmaryp I’d say you can, giving that you are careful and listen to your body and don’t over work it. It takes time and patience, but I say it’s possible. I’ve seen my 45 year old Uncle do it. Just be careful and patient. =]=]=]
