When I first started stretching, I couldn't either. My goal was to be able to touch my toes.

I actually don't do ballet, but I would like to start. I actually do yoga and a dance class at school.

I figured you did yoga, because I saw a yoga mat in a couple pix. What kinda dance do you do at school?

Yeah, the yoga mat does kind of tip you off

It is a variation of a yoga pose, but slightly exaggerated and with the toes pointed.
In other words, it's just a random stretch

Yeah! I got splits about six months after I started stretching fairly seriously, and I am not naturally flexible at all. This is also a lot easier than splits, so probably 3-4 months?

I think that taking a yoga class is great, that's how I started. You can learn a lot of basic stretches and how to do them properly like that.
If you really want to do it by yourself, work on stretches like sitting down on the floor with your legs straight out, bending over until it's a bit uncomfortable but not painful, and holding for a slow count of five, then repeat five times. Also try pointing and flexing your toes while leaning forward.
There's also a stretch I call runner's lunge that's great for prepping for splits. Kneel down and then put one leg in front of you like [link] and lean forward again to the point of discomfort and hold. Try to repeat five times per leg.
This one [link] is great for stretching your hips. Make sure to keep your hips as square (even) as possible.

im gonna be flexible xDD
wooo xDD
im a super stiff person so this is gonna be hard ><

It's not going to be too hard, it just takes a bit longer than for those people with natural flexibility. (grumble grumble) The bonus is that you're probably much stronger than people with a lot of natural flexibility.

Wow you're amazingly flexible! This is a great heel stretch 
Right now I'm trying to get my right and left splits, I'm almost there!

Thank you! I think that this is basically the splits, except standing up and not quite in splits.
Good luck with your splits!

I am very proud of her, she is so talented, and unlike me at that age, she is USING her talent, WISELY.
Instead of squandering it, and destroying herself, like I did.
Pride doesn't even begin to explain how I feel about her.

Thanks! I can get my leg a lot farther up when I'm on more even ground, but I like how this ended up looking kind of casual.
