Thank you so much!! I did this workout for 1 month and a half, and I've finally got my splits. I did this workout once a day 6 times per a week. Here is how close I got to my splits after each week:
Week 1: 10cm from the ground
Week 2: 8cm
Week 3: 6cm
Week 4: 4cm
Week 5: 3cm
Week 6: Finally made it! :)
And words of encouragement: even if you don't see results right away, I promise you that you will. It takes time. I promise, if you really try, you'll get it. Don't give up, you'll regret it.
Thank you sooooo much for that comment!!! thats really motivated me To do it and stay discipline
how flexible were you before starting the routine ?
Oh man, this is from 2014, but I just found it, and did the stretches... I don't know if anyone is still checking the notifications of these comments, but I have been really wanting to do the splits my whole life, and just recently became more physically active. I can't wait to see how my progress comes along with this video, and hopefully I'll have results soon!! Thank you so much for this stretch workout video!!!
I know you want people to comment so here you go:) - I have been doing the 12 minute stretch exercise (one of your previous videos) every day for the past 4 weeks, and I have gone from not being able to touch my toes to nearly being able to do the splits:) give it another 2 weeks and I should be there! Thank you so much, your videos have been an amazing help as I am a ballet dancer and always been the most inflexible in my class. I did this video for the first time today and plan to keep doing so, so thanks so much:)
I just started today. I'm not flexible AT ALL. But, I have always wanted to do the splits and improve my flexibility. So, Day 1! :)
how is your working?
How is it going? 3 weeks in, have you kept it up?
How much progress have you made?
Have you got them yet
How flexible are you now?
After seeing some of the crude comments I just wanted to take the time and thank you for the videos. They really have been helping me.
I'm getting back into Jeet Kune Do after a decade of... well, not keeping up with my conditioning. Your videos are helping me get back some flexibility I've lost, and other PsycheTruth videos are helping me cope with some of the inevitable muscle tension and issues that comes with age.
Although even as a young man I could not do the splits that well, I am getting good results with your techniques.
I've been at it for a few days, and I'm already seeing improvement. i feel i should get all the way down in no time. definitely the best video I've come across. I'll keep you updated!
Any updates???
I remember when I started doing this when I was younger, and how much it helped me! I got my left splits in only a month and got my right a few days after!
Now, I'm back and striving to get back to where I was before :)

Improve your flexibility and learn to do the Splits with Donnie in this 20 Minute Workout!
Amazing!
Donnie!
how often do you recommend doing this?
I have a question for Donnie. When you are doing the half split, what angle should your bent leg be at?
lara vrbanec I have the same question to ask bcuz most of the time,I think I mess up on that part(Half split)
Thanks so much donnie! Finished my splits in 3 1/2 weeks
This is an awesome stretch routine! I am not interested in doing splits (or even attempting them) but what a tremendous technique to get there. This really helps!!
+Christopher Thurow So happy to hear that you enjoy it!
i am so close to my splits but my backend isnt straight aghh help me can u figure or give us videos of how we can do this
I used all the psychetruth videos to get my splits four years ago and using them now to get them back! Thanks Donnie :)
"If this hurts...."
Please, it all hurts.
Thank you, i am still following this video for six years
I watched this video twice and I got my right splits!!! Yay
these video made me so refreshed that I think soon, I'll finally get my splits!
This helped me get my splits in a week!
Over the past year, I've been able to achieve my right and left leg splits from these videos. I can't thank you guys enough for putting these videos online. You've helped me become a better dancer and I've even gotten improvement compliments from my dance teachers because of these videos. I am currently working on getting my middle splits and I can already tell that I am improving. My advice for people stretching is to practice as often as possible, be patient, and remember that flexibility only improves when have determination. Thank you @PsycheTruth
I am an extremely thin (unattractively so) girl with stick arms and legs, and I started doing these stretches and workouts for my limbs to look better... and after a couple of months of following several of your videos, I now have no thigh gap and have quite lovely shapely legs! Lol. Even the thigh gap workout one. I'm very happy about this since I hated how thin my legs were... but I somehow imagine that it's supposed to work the other way round for people...
couldn't you just eat more?
Dubai Girl
She probably has a very fast metabolism if she's that thin.
If you are worried about your small frame and thin physique simply lift weights. Squats, bench press, deadlift, a row, start with the bar and add weight slowly. Stretching is good for you but your issue would be fixed by some strength work, not flexibility.
Be kinder to yourself !
@@anaussie213 gomad and starting strength 5x5 amirite
Donnie, just wanted to say thank you for posting not just this one but ALL of your videos. I had "worked" with you about 8 months and finally got my splits!! However, I was in a really bad skydiving accident shortly after. I didn't think I would ever be able to walk again, BUT I am walking! I am back into the game and really missed your videos when I couldn't walk. Thanks, girl! Skydiving and splits...it's all fabulous!
The Splits Stretch Routine - How To Do The Splits Flexibility Training Beginners Exercises Workout
Ok,in my wildest dreams. no ,not even then. :-)
i know the splits are doable, but if theyre done wrong, would it tend to botch the crotch and how badly would it do it?
MultiHungryeyes I think the worst that would happen is you strain your hip flexors a little bit. They are pretty strong though so I doubt you would do it unless you really pushed yourself too far. I seriously doubt you would be able to hurt your junk.
PsycheTruth
hurt the junk in the trunk,lol,lmao. i loved your response, and thank-you kindly.
I have a very hard time doing the half split what should I do??
You are definitely hitting the target points. It hurts which is great. No pain, no gain. I should be hitting splits in no time. Best splits/stretch video yet. Thank you so much, and keep up the good work young lady. 😊
I have been doing dance ever sense I was two years old. And like u said for u it's harder to do ur left leg but for me my left leg is so flexible but my right leg is as tuff as a rock
Donni you got some great stretches thank you!! I did this and the 12 minute stretch for 2 weeks so far. Before I couldnt touch my toes by 6 inches or so. Now I can go past my toes easily.
loved it i liked the way she try her best to improve our skills she is awesome just like denise austin
Before I watched this video, I wasn't particularly close to getting my splits, after following this I got my right leg splits instantly! Thankyou so much!!!!!
Thank you Donnie! After a week I feel more flexible! I'm learning how to do the Splits and you are a perfect teacher! I'm very happy!
Im half way there im starting to get the stretches hopefully soon I'll get it
First time watching this video. I'm 17 years old and I'm about to start drill team and my coach says we need to be able to do the splits. I'm determined to get it down. My goal is to be able to have it down in about a month so I can do it for tryouts. I gotta say it burns pretty bad. I haven't stretched in over a year or so, so i'm not surprised at how bad it hurts to stretch. Even simple stretches like touching my toes was almost impossible for me. I'm hoping I can start watching this video after I get home from school and before I go to bed at night and maybe I'll be able to accomplish my goal. Thank you so much PsycheTruth
Ok I am 54 and NOT flexible! I could only do the first 12 min and I already have less pain!! I am walking around with MUCH less pain
I feel so much more flexible and so much less pain. It’s unbelievable. And by the way I am not flexible at all. I am no where’s near doing a split, however I feel so much better
I used to be almost two feet off the ground when I tried to do the splits, now, after using your stretch videos, I am only about six inches, and I only started a few weeks ago! Being in a senior and high school dance class with girls who have been dancing since they were young is a bit intimidating but these rare really helping. Now I feel like I can stand up with my fellow seniors and not feel ashamed! Thank you so much!
Summing up the video in one sentence: "plié and stretch"
I used to think I couldn't do the splits but when I followed along with your videos I was able to do it. Works 100%
No intention to do these stretches, I simply wasn't built to be that flexible. I merely watch the video to watch Donnie.
My dream is coming true! I am very close to doing the splits thanks to you! I enjoy these workouts, really thankyou so much! I have been doing stretches for almost a year now but i have given up and ended up in creating reversibility. But i know i can do it now i have so much belief. X
My splits are about 3ft off the ground. This is day 2 for me. Wish me luck!
Same
How is it now?
Eric Castelli, got an update?!
Yes -- he split so deep that he fell right through the floor and was never heard from again. A cautionary tale...
Eric Castelli can you do the splits now then ?
Hi, I am currently a beginner on contemporary, and after a few years of on-and-off training, I've finally decided to actually train myself in doing my splits. Currently I am 8 inches from the ground (-_-), and my back leg is a bit bent while doing it. I am here to mark my first day of following this exercise, and I am feeling the effectiveness in this exercise. I will let you know my progress :)
Yay! It's Donnie! Yay!
***** hhhhhhh
***** NO ONE likes creepy predatory old men! Go the fuck away you old fart. You're gross.
I have used other split videos but this is by far the most effective and also so relaxing ! It rly loosened my legs and I almost have the splits I'm gonna do this everyday and tell u my progress
Can you do a video on how to help bad knees?
Yes... that would be nice. I did her other splits stretch routine and it messes up my knees and my knees are already pretty bad..
+Alisha Edvardson yea that's why ❤️
Brielle Fuerstenberg :[
Which one was it? So I could avoid doing that one
backsquat
I am so close !!! I'm following this stretch daily and it's really helpful. As soon as I reach my goal, I'll come back to thank you guys again, you're amazing.
Thank you so much for this vid it helped me so much like when I started I could barely touch my toes and BAM 1 week later I'm only a few inches off the floor
This video is amazingly helpful for me. My goal is to complete the splits, both sides, and i have stretched almost every day for almost a week now, and already feeling like i am more flexible!
"you can start by being on your elbows" woman, i cant get even on my elbows lol
good video tho, thanks
Great routine! I already have my right splits and I have been working upon getting my left split as well. I did this routine and it quickened the process of getting the left split very expressively. I'm nearly there because of this video!
I can do a split with my right leg, but i just hate my left leg, my left leg is the weakest.
-Fluffy Wolf- my left leg is my most flexible.
Gabrielle10 true for me.
-Fluffy Wolf- my right is the weakest
-Fluffy Wolf- i can do it with my left but it looks as if i have never stretched my right lmao
For me its opposite
Hi! don't know if you are going to see this but I just wanted to let you know that your videos are really helpful!! I definitely felt better after doing this stretch so thank you!
Paige Williams Try taking a magnesium supplement about 30 minutes before you go to bed. Natural Calm Natural Vitality is an excellent product.
How many weeks should we do this? And i already have my left splits thanks to you!!! Know I'm trying to get my right splits and can you make a middle splits tutorial?
This is great! Having us do more than one set of the stretch opens me up way more! Thanks
After watching this video for 3 months, i can successfully say i"m going to get off my butt and try and split....
Did you achieve the splits? ☺
Nur Musa I worked at it but fell back a bit. I'm going to start working hard at it again lol.
ShaunJW1 i am still thinking about actually doing it. Im like yay ill do it for a month and i can say yay i just gotta get up and actually do it
Alexandra Campeau I am currently almost flat on my right side, depending on how i feel or how sore my muscles are. But its not straight flat, i have to tilt at an angle and my legs are also skew...
Doing this awesome stretch routine 3 times a week for a year now. Was able to do a split after three months. Love it! Thank you so much!
Im not doing well but i will keep trying like this of you are going to keep trying
👍good
👎bad
Hiya I just started too :) good luck for us!
This is actually great and different exercises from what Ive been seeing so far, I'll definitely do them again!
Omg! I'm so inflexible, but I'm on a gymnastics team, and my cosh said I really need to get my splits, so I watched this video and started last week, and now i have got them very easily! Did I get them fast or is that normal?
AGsmiles 425 I think you got them quite normal. It just depends on how muc efort you put in. Im on day 9 and I m so close. I think I will be able to do the splits on day 11 or 12
sweetie dance omg now I'm really excited haha...I thought it would take two or three months lol...I just started today and I'm gonna repeat this twice a day. Hope it'll work! Good luck all!
Good Luck! I have now got my oversplits! You are sure to get them! x
AGsmiles 425 awesome! Thank you!
Okay guys, I'm doing it every single day, I just started dance 4 weeks a go and It's my first time doing dance in my life so I need to upgrade my flexibility. The other day I stretched 6 times each for about 30 minutes, I learned after stretching more than once a day doesn't make a difference. So stretch once a day for 30 minutes at least. Second stretched for about 15 minutes I don't see any big difference but stretches are a little easier. Aiming to be able to do the splits and become very flexible! All update tommorow, great video by the way your my favourite instructor!
I'm using this on the weekends and her other splits video during the week and also on the weekend, I will update on the weekend if you want to see my progress on her other splits video you can go check it out, most of the time I will be using her 12 minute split video. 💕 Wish me luck!
Day 5 my splits are improving a lot! 💗
did u reach it eventually
I had to do the first exersizes using a spinning chair :S loved this video though!
thank you so much for this stretching video i got my class of 10 dancers that didn't have their splits to do this and by the end of the video 7 of them had their splits and the other 3 were significantly closer. this is much appreciated and we will continue to follow your videos for the rest of their dancing career im sure , thank you again!
I can't get to my half split, and I wish these videos were taught by people who weren't already really flexible. I end up feeling bad about myself. some more progress videos would be nice
Irv Elsons Don't get frustrated. Try this video. th-cam.com/video/LX-1U2FE-b0/w-d-xo.html P.S. - if the person in the video wasn't already flexible they wouldn't be qualified to teach how to do it. :)
Irv Elsons Your right because I'm really bad at flexibility and I was hoping that I would become really flexible after this video but I can't get far enough and she's so flexible it made me embarrassed.
+Irv Elsons I'd rather learn from the best.
Stefan Gisi my bf just had a discussion about this. i have the same sentiment as Irv. My bf has your standpoint. I find it frustrating.
I could almost do a sidesplit like 10 years ago,I used to watch this lady and Carina in the other video. I am 29 now, I am really far but I want to do it. I can't wait to see my progress
I'm watching this while eating a cookie(weeps)
ME TOO!
Me too...I'm eating oreo
I loved your video, just from doing it once I could already feel my splits getting better, I'm gonna try to do it everyday!
"and plié and stretch..."
Lol I hated that part..it hurtssss
Lol that was so annoying😂
Krassimira Stefanova omg yes😂😂😂🤣
This is an amazing stretching video! I have been dancing for ten years now and still working on my splits (I am 13). I have my left split and once I feel that the left gives me little stretch I will work on oversplits, but I don't have my right, in the past couple months I have seen a tremendous difference in my splits (probably from dancing 5 times a week instead of three). I found this video a couple days ago and planning to do it almost everyday to get all my splits! Only about an inch away from my right!
Does any one do a specific warm up before doing this? i think they should also show us how to warm up before doing the stretches!!!
30 startjumps/jumping jacks should do
+Kee-Vonne Hunda jumpin jacks solve every warmout problemo lol
Thank you so much Donnie and PsycheTruth!!! Just got my splits down and im so happy!! YAY!!!
any fit/tight guy got improves with this routine?
Avocatul Poporului I am your man
Avocatul Poporului yes, I'm seeing improvements daily and I've been very inflexible for a long time.
Avocatul Poporului I used to be a professional hip hop dancer, and getting back into it my muscles and joints are super tight. This routine's super helpful and I made a lot of progress.
I will do it one of these days
Blistersource hahaha
Many many thanks to Donnie i can now do my left split and the right one is almost there! i am sooo excited.
She said; "start in the middle on your elbows."
I said: "bitch, I can barely lean forward it that position without feeling a deep stretch."
Lol; love the video though! :)
i laughed so hard at this comment because its so relatable
Clare Jacobsen
😂😂😂😂😂
Clare Jacobsen me
I just came across this channel. I need this in my life, I am not flexible at all. So i will be starting this today! I hope it works! Thanks
i was looking for diffrent ways to over split and this video came up,im a dancer and got my splits ages ago,but i dont mean to be a hater but her back leg has the wrong turn out
I agree, I noticed that too
I thought wasn't the only one
what part are you talking about exactly? i dont want to make the same mistake
Roxyhun She's talking about the split... Do you notice how the knee faces the camera? Well, it should be facing the mat.
Roxyhun It's because her hips are not well balanced, I guess... The weight should be on both sides, but she's only using her right side, I mean, it's not bad if you want to stretch, but it's not a right way to do the splits because it doesn't look so pretty.
These are really helpful. I think its been 10 years since I've had my splits and after 2 babies and a brain surgery, decided it was time to start dancing again. I've been doing this for 2 weeks and I'm almost there!
I caught my hubby watching this & now I know why. Wow you're cute♡ Not just you, but everyone at Psychetruth.
Is it mandatory for Psychetruth employees to be intensely beautiful? :p
Not mandatory, but it sure does help the view count.
Hi mina sweety i love u than so miss u after we can remember this bath of your face
OMG! I did it!!!! with my left leg 9-9 but I did it!!!! afiter two weeks and finally! Im so excited :D
I THINK I BROKE MY HAMSTRING LMAO but this is good LMAO
but then you wont have wont feet if you lot your ankles.
Every time I watch your videos I feel the stretch this really works because I started stretching for my splits again 3 days ago and I'm nearly down bear in mind I'm not flexible do these for 2 weeks and you will feel the stretch x Thank you thank you so much
I can't get my back leg straight
I'm using this to build back my flexibility so I can make it on my school's poms team this spring. Wish me luck!! So far I felt like this was a really good deep stretch.
I only know how to split the bannana 😂😂😂
This is a brilliant stretch routine, I feel so much closer to the splits now after only one try. I will keep trying thank you so much :)
"I'm feeling a really deep stretch in my butt right now"
Brendan B a
This is actually very helpful, as it is a good amount of time and the level for beginners. Easy to follow and really at the right pace. Thanks for uploading
I'm not trying to be mean but she can't do the splits correctly😅
like you can and if you can why are you here
She can, it's just not a square spit. There are different types of splits
With a pillow it makes it an oversplit
True, her hips are not squared and this is not healthy
I'm like .. 3 inches away from my splits 😩
Sooooo close!
you can do it i promise!!!!
This exercise is really nice, I've improved so much just after 2 weeks, I wanna thank you Donnie and ask you to give us more videos like this one in order to get better in our splits. Nice day.
What an absolutely burning hot woman!! :O
I have dance tryouts to see if I can make the competition team for dance and in order to make it you have to get your splits so this video has helped me get more flexible and now I can do my splits! Thank you!
I've only been watching these videos for 2 weeks now and I can do the splits! I also dance at Royalty Dance Academy for Ballet.
Just started a few days ago doing this every day along with another one of her splits videos, so let's see 17 cm turn into 0! I'll try to use this comment for updates on progress to keep me motivated :)
I did my stretches yesterday and they were good, I wasn't sore today so I did my stretches again. I had to do the video in a different room, so I didn't have the same chair I usually use. I still feel pretty flexible. yesterday I took a video of me trying my splits and it looks pretty close! like 4-5 inches away, so I'm getting there :)
Thursday: got 180* with my right splits after stretching for an hour! :)) still not quite there on my left splits
Friday: got 170*-175* on both my right and left! just blown away :))
Yesterday, after not stretching for 3 days, I'm pretty far away
I didn't stretch for a while, and I just started stretching again (while on vacation) along with practicing back bends, so I'm far away but I'm set on doing cheer, so I'm going to stretch 20 min-1 hr a day. Virtual school this fall so I can stretch during the time I would usually be driving there or going to activities and such
omg this video really helped me when I first started I was 9 inches off the ground during my splits. now Im only 5 inches . thank you so much for making this video
This is awesome, I've been practicing this tutorial for few weeks and there it is,almost there..
I have been doing these stretches every day for a week and I am SO much closer to getting my splits!! Thank you!!! I could barely touch my toes before hahaha. I think that I will have it in another week or two!
Day one. No noticeable progress yet a slight looser feeling (flexibility is that you) and a little bit of soreness (which is a good thing I'm sure). The plié seemed to help me stretch further as after each one when I straightened out I could go a bit further. So yay! I'll make sure to use this every night before I go to sleep! (It's very calming)
I'll add weekly updates of my progress!
did u reach the splits
I haven't done the splits in about a year or two but have still been close to being able to and after watching this video you have really showed me how to properly stretch so guess what !? I can have now been able to do the left splits again ! Thank you so much !
Now all I have to to is work on my right splits but that's by bad flexibility leg sooooo that will take longer😉
I'm loving this video since I found it, so like one year now, it's amazing and so effective! I would love to see more of these kind of videos!
I've improved a lot!! Infact I got the splits just after these stretches! I wasn't the best but now I am really good and it has improved other flexibility in my body! Thanks a lot!!!!
I did ballet when I was younger and I'm going to join again when I can and I thank you I have been more flexible than a week ago or even yesterday! Thank you and I hope I get there so soon
Tbh I never write comments below a video, but I wanted to tell you how great and beneficial your exercises are! Today was the second time for me and I already improved so much on my flexibility, although I am so not flexible haha :D I am starting ballet next Tuesday and I am very excited, but I think it is gonna be pretty hard because of my age AND my height (15 and 5"11) However, I don't want to be a professional ballet dancer, I just do it for fun! And your videos are :) I`m definitively going to let you know about my progress. Today I managed to touch the floor with my legs stretched, thanks to you! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks so much for this video I can't believe that only a month ago I could not do the splits but now I can thanks to this video please make more and I am sure to be subscribing xxx
your video is awesome it has taught us BFFs to do the splits and become much more flexible we both thank you lots keep on doing videos!
