How can I learn to do the splits?!


Question: How can I learn to do the splits?
I'm fit and active, not overweight or underweight, I can almost get my foot behind my head (I'm 13, no sex jokes please), how can I learn to do the splits? Without doing anything drastic or embarrassing, or public :P

Answers:

Every day go down as low as you can until it hurts. But every day slowly go lower. You will be able to do the splits in less than a week! Try not to stretch too far or you could tear a ligament. :)

Best answer please!
