Competing

I was wondering how can do I train to increase my flexibilty to do splits and other things that require a wide range of motion. -------------- It's not what we eat or drink occasionally, but what we consume on a daily basis that determines our ongoing level o health. formerfatguy.com Not sure of author

Check and see if any gymnastics gyms near you have an open gym night - that is where you want to go. I am guessing you mean competing in fitness comps. Those gals are amazing! I think most have dance/cheerleading/gymnastics backgrounds, so look for any classes or instruction you can get in those areas. The only wy to get better at the splits is to keep doing the splits.... Good luck! -------------- "To be able to go to the gym and train hard is a joy and a privelege, even though the hard work necessitates driving yourself through considerable discomfort.

Yes, those aerobic/fitness girls are truly amazing and yes, the most of them have all been gymnasts for years..... -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

I am trying to get a plan so that I can begin some serious training on my return. -------------- It's not what we eat or drink occasionally, but what we consume on a daily basis that determines our ongoing level o health. formerfatguy.com Not sure of author
