How can i learn to do the splits quickly?
My mom is my coach and she believed I could be the best!! She started by putting my leg on a chair and pushing me down, yes it took the tears but she didn't care, then in the gym we normally spend an hour on coaching assisted flexibility and there was no rest! Basically I'm telling you to get someone to push you down and to ignore the pain. Tha'ts how I became the best. On another note: If you get up every day do each split for one minute. Every night do each split for one minute. Your splits will gradually get better. (Do 2 sets for one minute twice or three times a day)!

Does dance raise your heart rate level more than other sports?
It depends on the style of dance. Any form of dance that requires a lot of movement is a really good way of speeding up your heartbeat. For example jazz, swing, tango, salsa, and hip hop can increase your heartrate quickly. The type of music you do sports in can also affect your heartrate. If you listen to fast or upbeat music, you are more likely to move more and as a result, accomplish an increased heartrate. In conclusion, the heart rate level acquired during sports all depends on the form of the sport you are playing.
