How do you become very flexible?

Answer 1

To become more flexible you would want to stretch more until you are satisfied with how flexible. I am a dancer and I stretch a lot to become more flexible. Things I do is do my splits, right, left, and center, and I do the wall stretch and push myself against the wall as a couple of my stretches. But before you do all of this make sure you stretch out your back, arm, leg, stomach, neck, ankle, and a lot of you muscles or else you can pull something.

I want to become more flexible and i do stretches a couple of times a day for 20-30 minutes. I have been doing it for a week now and I am already seeing a difference. Swimming will exercise you and so will yoga but out of these two to become flexible yoga.

You have to continually work on stretching certain muscles out. It will take a while.

stretch every single day and do the splits then you will get more flexible.
try to stretch or do the splits for 3 minutes each day and youll get better
I improved my flexibility drastically-I could not even touch my toes, and now I can touch my head to my knees and my palms to the ground-by simply sitting on the ground and reaching for my toes. You can bend your ankles back as far as you want in order to grab your toes, and then attempt to point your toes. This will pull you forwards and bend you down. Hold this position for about 30 seconds.

If you cannot touch your toes when sitting on the ground, bend one leg so that one foot is touching your opposite thigh. Then reach for the other foot. Repeat on both sides. Hold each side for about 30 seconds.

However, if you do not have time to do this, there is an easier way, albeit one that takes slightly longer. Just stop bending your knees to pick things up off the floor. It will be difficult at first, but soon it will become natural.

If you can do both, it will improve your flexibility quickly.
stretch more (special stretching excercises for each and groups of muscles increase flexibility) Google it to find some exercises.
Exercise and do back bends
By going to the gym, exercising, running, yoga, or maybe just simply stretching every day and night.
There are lots of ways to become more flexible. A major factor of improving your flexibility is to do a variety of stretches every day to ensure that your muscles get used to regular stretching. After about a month you will definitely start to see just how much more flexible you are becoming, as your body will grow accustomed to stretching further out of its comfort zone, therefore pushing it to become more flexible. It will probably take about three months, I'd say, to really improve your flexibility to a much higher level than previously, depending on how flexible you were to begin with. Find about 5 to 7 stretches to do each day and keep this in a routine, then your body will gradually build up more strength to endure this kind of physical exertion and flexibility. After a while of doing these stretches your body will easily perform the tasks at hand as second nature, as it will be so used to doing it.
exercise
By stretching a little each day, you cant just become flexible.

To get more flexible you should stretch everyday, I am a gymnast and it really helps when you stretch, your muscles loosen and it feels really nice!:) The first couple of day may not seem like the stretching is doing anything but after awhile you will see improvement.

I'm a ballerina, and to become more flexible, you have to stretch properly. You should hold your stretches between 20 seconds and one minute. If you feel any pain, then stop, because you aren't stretching correctly. You should not over-stretch to the point where you can barely move. IF you do feel pain, stop immediately. While you stretch, relax and remain still. If you move a lot while you stretch, your muscles won't be able to hold it. Also, you should stretch every day, going a little farther each day. If you miss a day, it will take more time to become more flexible. Also, before you stretch, warm up. The best time to stretch is right after you take a shower.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

I am a dancer so I am very experienced with becoming more flexible. What I did to become more flexible was to stretch every night (Here is a link to a good website http://www.fitsugar.com/5-Easy-Hamstring-Stretches-1983373) and then about once every two weeks I just pushed myself as far as I could in my splits until I could not go any farther. Other than that don't get discouraged and remember, flexibility takes time.

Answer 6

you can increase flexibility by using different stretches. if u are stretcing ur shoulders u can put your hands on your lower back and have someone push in ur elbows until they touch. you can also lay on the ground with legs straight and put ur hands flat down behind u and have ur hands close together.

practice splits daily.

stretch against, do splits and have someone pull your chect up until you feel pain or walk ur hands down the wall until they touch the wall than come back up

antoher stretch i lk its over splits and u have one foot on an object off the ground (any height) and the back leg in a split on the floor. you can do this for middle splits to and you can also have your back leg on the block

another stretch i love is pike to pikes. sit in a pike, push through a stradle until u are on ur stomach and push back to a stradle than to a pike.
