I’ve seen some gymnasts splitting their legs 180 degrees and I’d like to do that too.

    Basically 5-15min of stretching in the morning and evening (shorter if younger or decently flexible, longer if older or less flexible). You start with what you can do easily then go until you “feel it” then you do your best to hold it for 10-30s and relax (slow breathing). If you stop feeling it go farther (it was just muscle tensing in the way) and a couple inches more and you’ll be at your current real limit hold for 10-30s then do other stretches.

    Will take 1wk to a couple months. The biggest caveat is the risk of injury for those who don’t know their bodies well or try to rush the process.
