by the way....

I have danced when youger, and was in gymnastics.  I was away from any type of activity like this for 15 years prior to taking a Yoga amd Dance classes again.

I gained about 15degrees of motion in my open straddle split in about a years time, and am still about 10 degrees from really being able to be 180degrees out and roll forward.

I gained similarly about20 degrees of motion in my front back splits (both sides) and am currently about 6 inches from the floor.  

I stretch twice a day, hold each position for 20-30 seconds.  I figure I am a year or so out.

I almost tore a tendon loose from a bone in my knee being "slighly too agressive" and have since taken a more conservative approach.

This expreience is from a person who was capable of doing all 3 splits about 15 years ago.

So, I reinforce; dont push it to far.
