only one way... LOTS OF PAIN!
One way they teach in certain karate classes here is to go down as far as you can... and hold it... for 15 MINUTES!
It will hurt like hell and you'll barely be able to move afterwards until you walk on it a bit, but if you do that daily for a month or two, you should be able to do the splits... it is very painful...
The other way is to take up yoga.. it will take a lot longer, but is less painfull.. (still bad enough though)..
if anyone else knows of a better way of doing this (without breaking anything), please let me know, cos I'm interested!!!

Why would anyone want to do the splits? It kinda seems to me about as useless as stretching my tongue so that I can reach my earlobe—kinda gimicky. Is there a real function?

Sitting in a bar licking your earlobe would be one heck of an original pickup line, wouldn't it? How many times do you think you would slapped each night?

We'd be more impressed by a guy tying Boy Scout knots with his tongue than one who could merely reach his ear with it.  |

ha splits.. that takes me back to my day of dancing.. yeah.. i used to be able to do them with no problem.. until i stopped practicing.. but i orginally learned to do them by just going down as far as i can and holding it.. like piper said.. not 15 min.. maybe 4 or 5... painful!! it makes me kinda nervous to see guys do them for some reason tho...
