My dad took modern dance at his college and he said he could do the splits (with some assistance) after only three months! I've been working on stretching with the help of my bedroom furniture. My mom is a stiff and a board and was never able to touch her toes, keep in mind, but i tend to (and hope that i'm) more like my dad. I'm practicing everyday with the normal stretches that just about everybody does. How long to do supposed it'd take for me to get nice and flexible?
