How long does it take to do a split?

to learn? I've been in gymnastics for about 3 years, and I have mine perfectly. On average, it took about 2-3 months for me to master it. But it depends on the person. My best friend has been doing gymnastics for about a year now, and she can't do it. Are u naturally pretty limber, i was so that explains why i got it so fast. If not it might take a while. \nNow, if u meant to actually perform a split, about .3 seconds. lol

It takes about a month to get a split. Stretch in a pike position (legs outstretched in front of you, reach for your toes). And all you have to do is just slide down, that's all I can really tell you. You won't get very far the first few times, but when you are practicing every day or so, you will see improvement and become closer to the ground.\n\nTo do a back flip, you should know how to do a back handspring and things similar to that. \nStart standing. Bend your knees a little bit, then start to lean back. While you are leaning back, you should be ready to push your feet off the ground as hard as you can. Jump up, back, spin around, and tuck your legs into your stomach REAL TIGHT. You should be rotated over by now and landing on your feet.\n\nIt is really hard to tell you how to do this over the Internet, so it might sound confusing, but just practice and have to instructors help you and spot you.\n\nYou won't be learning back flips until later after you have cartwheels, splits, back bends, back walkovers, front walkovers, handstands, round offs, back handsprings...\n\nGood luck and have fun in gymnastics!

For different days, I do different things.  If you do both cardio and weightlifting in one day, you are going to be dead tired, and you will have less motivation to work out.  Also, separating cardio and weightlifting in different days leads to better muscle growth.  What I do is alternate days between working out and cardio.  For working out, I generally stay at the gym for about one hour and 45 minutes, but for beginners and intermediate exercisers, I suggest around 45 minutes to an hour.  For cardio, I generally do around 45 minutes, with 20 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes on the bike (5 minutes for stretching).  I would suggest around 25 minutes for beginners (10 each for treadmill and bike).  Give yourself a day or two of rest each week, and vary your weightlifting schedule (e.g. do biceps/shoulders/back one day, triceps/chest/abs another day and legs some other day).

When you exercise muscles hard you tear down tissue.  Your body needs more than 24 hours for that to heal back.  If you skip a day between workouts you will see faster results.

1 (or 3 sec. all together)

This is strictly a decision made by the physician in charge. I have seen recovery after 40 minutes, but most do not go beyond 20-30 minutes with a straight line.

i asked a similar question today except i asked if i could do 2 10 minute cardio sessions rather than one 20 min and the answer that i got was that its equally effective to do 2 10 mins as it is to do 20 minutes all at once

you need to do a split every day and each day do a little more than the day before eventually you will do it.. don't do much or you pull a groin or  a muscle. also you can get streched professionaly but that cost money.. my brother did for zen do kye.. like in van dam movie .\nbut just do the day by day thing.

Start with what you can comfortably do between 8 and 12 reps with.  Do 3 sets.  Once you're over the initial soreness, gauge yourself like this...  " If I can't do 8, it's too heavy.  If I can do more than 12, it's too light. "   Give yourself 48 hours recovery time between workouts on the same muscle group.  Keep your motion strict and slow.  Use the full range of muscle motion.  DON'T CHEAT!!!  It's best to lift with 1 partner that you have no desire to impress.  Strict, proper form on lighter weights will produce much better results than heavy, jerked lifting where you don't go all the way down, or all the way up, or if you use momentum to lift heavier, or to do more reps.  You will be much more impressive with RESULTS, than you will be with how you look trying to achieve them.

You don't pop into a split, it takes time.  You have to practice stretching until you can do it.  No bouncing.

I hope we're talking about the same thing.\n\nIt takes time . . . do lots of stretches and then try to do "the splits".  Continue daily (even several times a day) until you've reached your goal.  When I was a dancer sometimes my muscles would be a little sore after a good day of stretching.

it depends from the country you are. in some countries it takes even months and years.I know that in US it takes long enough...in EU it takes 10 days to 6 months. To know exactly the time you should go ask the office where your folder is, they might give you an approximate time. For sure don't wait till they call you. Good luck to both of you!

Typical break takes 4-6 weeks

I don't think that the length of time is too much. However, I suggest taking at least one day of in your 5 day heavy workout (like day 3) to rest. Your body needs to rejuvenate.

are struggling to breathe over there??\n\nwell if you havent been to the doctor yet GO!\nif you have then its probably not a bad split and it will grow together in bout 4-6 weeks so limit excessive movement in that area eg. trunk rotation or unilateral arm movements-do bilateral ones instead. \n\nliving with this is gonna be painful tho!
