How I Learned The Full Splits in 30 Days 

Thank you all for the kind words and actual constructive criticisms! I've received a lot of FAQs in the comments (future videos, flexibility, appearance, etc.) so I thought I'd pin a detailed comment to address them all together! I'll also be attaching my stretching routine from the video in words, at the end of this comment. Hope this helps to clear up a few things! :) Subscribe for more content! And follow me on my social medias to keep up with me in the future! Subscribe: ru-vid.com Instagram: instagram.com/henryhaovo/ Twitter: twitter.com/henryhaovo ❓❓❓FUTURE VIDEOS ❓❓❓ 1: We need to see more videos! Start posting more videos! When's the next video? A: I'm so happy to see such widespread interest in more videos from me! I've been waiting on some equipment and items for videos to arrive (delayed in the mail 😑) but as soon as those things come in, I'll be right back to recording! Not to mention, it's been raining almost every day where I live... 🙄😪 In the meantime, I've been spending my time learning more about editing, cameras, etc. I hope to start posting more videos by the end of June...? I'm still really new to RU-vid and video production so I know it's going to be rough in the beginning, but I'm excited to start growing as a content creator, and I hope you join me for the journey! 😁❤️ 2: You should learn to backflip! You should learn the handstand! You should learn-... A: I have a HUGE list of skills I want to learn in the future! I can't wait to share my experiences with them on the channel. If you have a skill that you're interested in seeing me learn, leave me a comment and I'll try my best to learn it someday! ❓❓❓FLEXIBLITY/STRETCHING❓❓❓ 3: Can you post a video of your stretching routine? A: Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be posting a separate video just for my stretching routine. I hope to focus this channel on learning all kinds of interesting and unique skills, not flexibility and stretching videos. There are a ton of greats channels focussing around that topic already. But like I said, my PERSONAL routine will be at the end of this comment in as much detail as possible! 4: Did stretching make you taller? A: Nope! I can see the logic behind this question, but for me personally, achieving the middle splits did not stretch the overall structural length of my legs. Still just a short guy! 🤪 5: Does age matter for stretching? A: I believe yes and no. Generally, becoming flexible and mobile is much easier at a younger age. But that doesn't mean that you can't become flexible at an older age! It just might take more time than it would take someone in their youth, to achieve a certain amount of stretch. I'm not a medical professional of any kind, but this makes the most sense to me! 6: Were you flexible as a child? A: Not really. I wasn't as stiff as a board, but I certainly wasn't at all capable of doing the splits. 7: Your starting position is already pretty deep! A: I personally didn't think my split was deep to begin with, but I do realize that everyone is starting from a different beginning. I never tried to do the splits before this challenge, but I have been pretty athletic my whole life, so I guess my body already had a natural tolerance for a bit of stretch...? Outside of this, I do exercise regularly and do a quick full body stretch after every workout (but I've never actually focussed on any kind of split training)! 8: Can I get my splits in a month too? A: Like I said in the video, everyone's bodies are different! You shouldn't focus on the timeframe, just the end goal of achieving your splits. I was able to achieve my splits in 30 days of stretching, but you shouldn't compare YOUR body to MY body. Even if it takes you a full year of stretching, you should be proud of your own body for being able to reach your goals in the end. :) 9: What happens to your testicles when you're in the split? A: Contrary to popular belief, the testicles aren't actually really involved or affected in the process. They just rest in the front of your crotch as they do regularly. The part of my body that actually makes contact with the ground, is the area between my crotch and my bum. Hope that clears things up 😂 10: Can you learn to nut punch like Johnny Cage? A: As hilarious as that would be, I don't think that "skill" merits its own video on my channel 😂 11: My knees/hips/thighs are hurting when I stretch. What do I do? A: I'm not a medical professional of any kind. The only kind of discomfort I experienced during the stretch was from my hamstrings and hip flexors actually stretching, and the first few days of soreness that passed on its own. Again, this video only documents MY PERSONAL experience and routine. I'm happy if it can help, but I'm not saying this is the #1 go-to stretching routine for everyone. If you are in actual pain, I would recommend speaking with your doctor! ❓❓❓PERSONAL & APPEARANCE ❓❓❓ 12: You have a lot of acne. Yucky! Ew! Gross! A: I'm not offended or phased by people commenting on my acne, but I feel unprompted comments on others' physical appearances is all around unnecessary... These kinds of words can really hurt someone's confidence and make them feel self-conscious. Telling someone they have a lot of acne will almost always be taken in a negative way, even when it's "not meant as an insult." It just isn't helping anyone... There's a saying that I really like and I'd like to share it here: "If someone can't fix something about their appearance within a few seconds, then you shouldn't say anything about it." For my personal acne, I've been on acne medication cycles twice before, and the results were great and long lasting! But the side-effects of the medication were pretty painful/irritating to me. Additionally, those treatments can be expensive, and can become more dangerous after multiple cycles. Most of my acne is just genetic. I eat a balanced diet, drink a much higher than average amount of water, sleep an adequate amount, exercise regularly, and keep a proper skincare routine. Despite all fo this, my acne tends to flare up from time to time, and I'm okay with it. Additionally, most of the marks on my face are actually just post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation ("acne scars"), as opposed to actual acne bumps. While there are available treatments to fade scarring more quickly, they can be quite expensive like I said. I am okay with my own appearance, and my scars will fade with time and standard skincare products. 🙂❤️ 13: Dude, you look exactly like Tenz. Dude, you look exactly like Jay from ENHYPEN. A: I think it's just the long hair, round glasses, and the fact that I'm Asian 😂👌 ❓❓❓MY STRETCHING ROUTINE❓❓❓ Below is the stretching routine that allowed ME to achieve my full middle splits. Like I've said before, I'm not a medical professional, nor am I a flexibility expert. I am just an average guy who spent some time researching to put together a stretching routine to achieve the splits. You are free to use my routine a guideline to shape your own routine, or you can follow it exactly. Either is fine! Instead of listing the amount of sets per exercise I did, I will just be listing everything I did in order. If you go down the list, that will be exactly the amount of sets I did in total. (Warmup ~ 2-3 MIN) 12-15 - Front-to-back leg swings (L) 12-15 - Front-to-back leg swings (R) 12-15 - Front-to-back leg swings (L) 12-15 - Front-to-back leg swings (R) 12-15 - Side-to-side leg swings (L) 12-15 - Side-to-side leg swings (R) 12-15 - Side-to-side leg swings (L) 12-15 - Side-to-side leg swings (R) (Pre-split stretches ~ 10 MIN) 1 MIN - Horse stance/squat 1 MIN - Standing hamstring stretch (L) 1 MIN - Standing hamstring stretch (R) 1 MIN - Kneeling hip flexor stretch (L) 1 MIN - Kneeling hip flexor stretch (R) 1 MIN - Horse stance/squat 1 MIN - Standing hamstring stretch (L) 1 MIN - Standing hamstring stretch (R) 1 MIN - Kneeling hip flexor stretch (L) 1 MIN - Kneeling hip flexor stretch (R) (Split stretching ~ 20 MIN) 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest 1 MIN - Split hold 1 MIN - Rest I hope this helps! :D

I’m so glad u talked about the moments where your flexibility plateaued for a bit and the little anatomy lesson, I’m so motivated!

For all those who are trying this never skip warm up, I had skipped it and gone directly to split which caused damage in my ligaments and took almost six months to recover completely. Be safe ❤️

-leg swings - 2 min horse stance -hamstring stretch two min each - hip flexor stretch 2 min each - roll out thighs for 1 to 2 min - jump into split, 1 min stretch 1 min rest for 10 min

As a dancer and dance teacher I have isues with this video. Someone in the comments mentioned the lack of external rotation. This is much more complex then that. Partially true though. The problem is straining your knees if you just streach like this and don't know how to properly use your muscles while also keeping your torso all the way up, which is also putting much more strees on your knees and lower back. I would just lean forward for better supprot and more controll. What I see in the video are some moments where you have some worriesome side knee extentions: your knees go deeper to the floor, but hips stay as they were. This leads to a lot of knee pain in the future. I would advice to start from the straddle (also if trained properly usually easier to achive) and then progress into middle splits. But also be careful of too much external rotation in your hips, meaning for example if you get in your middle splits, get your torso to the floor and then try to rotate out, that is too much. The differnce is not really where your knees are facing, but what is the possition of your hip bones. In both middle splits and straddle there is the same rotation going on, you just achive it by either pushing you hips back or rotating your legs out. Anatomically this is the same movement leading to "unlocking" your hips. In the video you are doing doing it both ways. Bigger issue though is the exercises prior to splits. The warm up is waaaay too short. You can't just swing your legs a couple times and get into it. Not if you are a bigginer with no real spot experience. Even then, high risk of injury. The stretches you do prior don't really do much for your middle splits. Even the rolling dosn't go to inner thighs and glutes. There are no hip mobility exercises essential for middle splits. You stretch the muscles that don't really play significant role in the middle splits. So the results come mostly form sitting in your splits 10 min. a day. That being said, although results are great, without natural predisposition and with no experience, this can end really badly for someone. Don't do it at home, not like this, not if you are a begginer, just go see a professional to work on this. Also, please strenghten with your stretching. It will help preventing injuries.

3:49 *"don't compare yourself to anyone else"* Man, this is like the ultimate life hack for reaching life achievements and generally being happy and content with your life!

Short answer: Consistency + Suffering

My daughter has been working on her middle splits for over a year. I found your video today & guess who finally was able to get all the way down this evening using your routine!!! Thank you so much 😊

This does give me confidence now. I have been stretching for over 60 days and still haven't gotten my splits but have seen significantly better results, getting closer everyday!

His starting position is way better than most people to begin with!

A way my gymnastics coach had us get used to our middle split was to sit in a V position and raise our legs into the air and then do small circles. This helped us get used to rotating our hips so we could go down further and it also helped us gain more strength as well!

As a person who can do the middle splits if you stay in the middle splits for to long than your legs will really hurt so just stay in the middle splits for as long as you can! And if you legs don’t get deeper in your splits than try to put pillows under your legs than each day try to take one pillow off than you might do it! Hope this helps! Also take breaks like two or three days

I started this a few days ago and it seems to be the only tutorial that is actually working for me! Thanks bro! I've watched so many other people talk about this and it seems they don't fully understand what they are teaching or how to teach it.

Imagine training the splits for 10 years doing martial arts and you still cant to them then a Asian dude comes along and does it in a month

2:08-2:32 You’re the first RU-vidr I found that addressed this, I’ve been trying to do the splits and wondered why it felt like my thigh and hip bone collided, and you were the first person to address the science behind it.

Thank you! THIS is the kind of content I’m looking for. Love that you made it happen! I’m impressed.

Thank you SO MUCH! This has been a goal of mine for so long but until your video I never found a protocol or a detailed enough explanation that made it seem achievable. This is genuinely the best resource I have ever seen. Cannot thank you enough!

"Finally, on day 29, this happend..." *balls touch the floor* *Screams*

Love 30 day learning challenges. Thanks for sharing. 💪🏻

Also, I appreciate how thorough you were with you’re explanation. I seriously appreciate the research and assessment you put into making this video. I am going to follow your steps. I truly appreciate the hip bone information you gave. You’re amazing! Thank you.

I can just imagine how stoked you were when you got it! I was happy for you as well. I recently started stretching to improve my calisthenics and locomotion movement routine. The first week I couldn't reach my toes while stretching straight down, but surprisingly enough, I was able to stretch and touch the floor in about a week. Now I'm here learning in order to conquer my next challenge - drum roll: The Splits! LFG! Thanks for the video and all the great tips. Keep stretching.

You explained the pelvic bone problem so quickly and well, haven't seen this that good in any video of flexibility coaches.

For all my fellas doing this everyday. Edit: I have been doing this for a month or so.. And i am stick just 2 3 cms above the ground.. How do i go down completely??

bro made three great videos and dipped. i hope he's doing well these days

I love how you made this into something enjoyable to learn, most people take the fun out of everything and make it so technical. We should all just act like a child at times, makes life so much better ❤

For everyone trying this out, make sure to turn out your legs as much as possible!! Try to get your knees to face upwards and NOT forwards

You a literally the first person to tell me about the pelvis thing and that the bone gets stuck and you have to lean your body forward thanks that was alot of help

WOW! Congratulations! You must feel amazing to have finally achieved your full splits. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do, but got discouraged once I reached a certain point & wouldn’t get lower over time. I’m gonna try it your way. Hopefully, I’ll get it this time. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful & entertaining .🙌🏽❤️😊

I appreciate that you mention about pushing the butt back and move our hips forward . That is a great help to avoid injury and to do the split better.

As a girl who isn’t that flexible, I appreciate this video! I think I’ll try to get more flexible and learn how to do the full splits myself!

Man this shit is giving me anxiety, just imagine your hands slipping off while doing it 💀

This is by far the best video I seen on splits!!!!Thank you for your help I’m bout to start today!!

Congrats man!!! Thank you for showing us your progress! It gives me hope that I can achieve the splits one day too!!!😄

I came here to thank you for the explanation about how pelvic position affects our struggle to split. I was trying to make a split for quite long period of time. You are the first person who showed how to open the hips in a right way without getting injured. Thank you

Hey Henry, I want to say thank you. After 20 working days I finally achieved the middle splits-a huge goal of mine. This was a great challenge for me since I was struggling with shoulder problems and needed something to work on. Thank you for combing all this information In a short and direct video.

Thank you so much for addressing the pelvis situation!! I was so stuck on it until you told us about it!

Thank you for sharing this story. It’s so amazing that this was your first video and you made something so inspiring! You truly have a gift for making videos.

My left hamstring hurts just from watching this, and it's been about thirteen years since I pulled that muscle after being obsessed with stretching in order to do the front splits, but I did not warm up enough. STAY SAFE everyone and DON'T FORGET to warm up before you stretch!! Even better is also to work out the muscles in combination with stretching (and as others have mentioned, make sure you have the correct technique when stretching). When I pulled my hamstring, it was HORRIBLE. I could really feel the muscle fibres coming apart, I screamed in pain and I had to be carried to the school nurse (it happened during P.E.) and walk on crutches for a few days. It took many years for the pain to stop saying hello, and even now I'm reminded 😅 It's NOT worth it trying to go fast, listen to your body and listen to your limits - if you can't do the splits, you're still awesome.

This really works. I also got my middle splits in 30 "working days". I would take 2 days off after each training day so 30 working days means it took me 3 months. The most effective exercises for middle splits (after a dynamic warm up) are Cossack squats, lotus pose, and dynamic frog pose. I'm 40 years old and I feel proud to have achieved middle splits. Until I watched your video, I believed that achieving middle splits is almost impossible after your teenage years. But now I know it's possible because I've achieved it 😌.

The fact that you did your own diligence and research gives the real value to your achievement, more over when one share this valuable information with others. For that reason you get a deserve like, something I hardly do.

As a student of a taekwondo class, I recommend keeping your toes up to feel more burn and progress slightly faster

"I was never really that flexible" literately all you naturally flexible gits always say this 😂

plot twist: He already could do the splits

Never having been flexible in my life, I decided to start stretching with this video as my first inspiration. I'm now more than a year in and I'm finally seeing progress, but I would like to share the things I've learned: Don't forget warmup. I understand if you just want to stretch, but jump on the same place a couple minutes without working up too much of a sweat works for me. Also as illustrated in this video, make sure to stretch closeby muscles and antagonistic muscles. Not only will it make it easier for the muscles you're aiming for, but if you do some unintended movement during heavy stretching you're much less likely to hurt yourself if closeby muscles are properly warmed up. Do not keep stretching for many minutes on end, which is what I did starting out. I would just try to push for minutes. Instead, go down as far as you can, hold it for 20-30 seconds at your limit, and go back up. Repeat 3 or 4 times depending on how much you think your legs can take. Every time you go down you will see you can get further, and this is why it is very easy to feel like you're not gaining progress because the first time you try to go down and stretch you won't get nearly as far as after doing it three times in. Crucial-- DO NOT STRETCH TOO OFTEN! This is another thing that I did starting out, I thought I didn't get any progress so I would stretch 3 or 4 times a day. This is very bad because your muscles need proper time to rest after stretching. My sweet spot seems to be two times per day, with 12 hours in-between each stretching session, but doing it only once a day is very good as well. I've come to realize how similar this is to weight lifting how every time you go down and try to stretch can be seen as a 'set' (my previous tip), and that the muscles need proper resting time. Good luck to you and thanks again Henry!

Needs more “process “ like this ,inspiring a lot ,congrats🎉🎉

FYI, Henry started from a pretty advanced flexibility stage for the average person. His starting depth is not normal, but the consistency and some of the science here is great to see.

Dude... amazing. But this looked horribly painful at times. lol

Loved the "Anatomy Lesson" part of this and the reference to PNF. I learned stuff that will help.

I gave up on doing the middle split years ago! This video is so helpful...I already have both side splits but I'll work on this and hopefully have it down by the end of summer. I love your humor btw and I subscribed 😊

This was the best stretching video I've seen: thorough but succinct, live footage plus corresponding anatomy lesson. This was perfect!

Thanks for your advices. I'm going to try. I am 73 years old and I am a black belt, 2nd. Dan of Taekwondo. I retired for 30 years for work and study reasons and at the same time served in the United States Army Reserve. Also in the same period I had two accidents in my right leg, first the Achilles tendon broke and several years later, in a fall I had multiple ankle fractures and at the same time the fermus broke in two. In both accidents I had periods of two years with a cast, it was traumatic and currently for stretching I do it carefully because the bones at my age have to be carried little by little. But I find your experience very successful for me because I consider it low impact and I think I will give it a try, thanks again. I am Frank Romero from the island of Puerto Rico, a territory of the United States between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

Can’t believe I only discovered this 3 years late after searching endlessly and watching so many unrelatable stretching videos from yogis. This video and experience is so real, just wanna express that and give credit to videos like this, thank you!!

Your enthusiasm was cute! Honestly, as a gym trainer, it was nice to see you explain that so well. Including the incorrect posture of the front/back splits. Good job!

I've literally never tried doing a split, and inspired by your video, did the exercises and attempted it. Successfully did it on the first try. Can't believe I was a natural all along 🤣

I’m a fat dude, kind of wanna do this just to see the shock in friends faces lol

It is interesting that last week I started to challenge myself trying to do a split and suddenly, I bumped into this amazing video! I wanna continue doing it and see what happens 😊 I’m inspired now!

This video made my day. The sense of humor was amazing and it was informative. LOVE IT.

Your comment about the hips locking at a certain point is a great observation! Thank you for sharing this as I think this is where myself (and a lot of other people) get stuck and can't go any further. Very grateful for what you shared and feeling hopeful again. Be well! 💜

Warm up 1. Front to back and side to side leg swings. 2. Horse stance for 2 minutes. 3. Stretch both hamstrings for 2 minutes (each). 4. Stretch hip flexor for 2 minutes (each). 5. Rolled up thigh for 1 to 2 minutes. Start stretching for 10 minutes everyday. 1 minute stretch and 1 minute rest. And watch the full video for more info.

bro, i was looking exactly for this kind of video! Awesome!

Thanks for the video! Although I already got my middle splits, your video encouraged me to work on my oversplits. THANKS!

when i was starting out as a dancer, for middle splits i would always do "froggie" first which is just middle splits laying on your stomach with your legs bent at 90 degrees, once the froggie position became comfortable I straightened my legs to full splits. i think that would have been a lot easier than having to hold yourself up while stretching, and you could just lay there slowly stretching your legs while watching youtube or something

Step 1: Learn how to split with this video's instructions. Step 2: Learn how to nut punch like Johnny Cage.

Bu the way this is the best researched video on splits I've managed to find, thank you again :)

Loved your honesty and positivity. Congrats

Wow the anatomy lesson was really well done

Last year, I got my front and middle split, but it took me two months to achieve both splits. It was a painful experience. I like how you were so patient in achieving the split . Btw congrats for getting the middle split.

good for you dude! keep going! i'm happy for you

Wholesome video! I really want to learn to do the splits and a handstand. This video is motivation.

"First couple of days not getting down so far" ...almost does the split.

4:52 no no thats not a “dangerous” form of the side split, its simply an open front side split. In ballet and overall dancing they do this kind of split, because it is easier to “fall” into it, because if you fall into a side split where your foot faces downwards (true front split) you will pop your knee, so don’t worry

That cry of excitement really made me smile from ear to ear 😄 Great job! Awesome inspiration

i'm surprised to find out that this is your first video on yt, high quality content & super entertaining ! thanks for the tips

henry : “I’m not that flexible” * swings foot higher than waist * me : *iS NOT ABLE TO DO THAT* 👄👁👄

Wow you are definitely dedicated and focused. It’s a great party trick for the future! Love your sequel of amazement when you finally made it 😊

I’ve always wanted to learn how to do this and seeing you do it has really motivated me

Meanwhile, I've literally always been able to do the splits. No matter how fat I get. Ever seen a 250 lbs fat guy do the splits? That's me doing it right now.

I was a part of the yoga academy of my school until 4th grade. I quit after that, I used to do full splits, and now, here I am 9 years later, becoming a whole ass potato. I was really healthy back then, it helped me a lot with my physical as well as mental health. This pandemic actually made me realise how important physical exercise is for the mind and body to be in peace. I definitely needed this, thank you very much!

I used to be able to do the splits all the way on skates. You’ve inspired me with this info to get back there again.

Impressive! Will definitely go back to this video once I'm ready for a full split.

I’ll need 30 days just to get your day 1 position

If you had done this in the 80s and made some B-movies, you would be rich.

This is pretty awesome!! I have the front splits but not the middle. I’ll try some of your techniques to see if I can get it. Thanks for making this video!!❤

You're scream when you finally did it is awesome!

THANK YOU!! No one ever told me how to turn my hips, I could never get past the pain and knew if I pushed I’d hurt myself. Having my other splits I know what a good stretch and a bad one feels like and middle was always bad. Tysm :)

I’m proud of you. My muscles are so tight - and this has honestly given me hope. Thank YOU, Henry Vo!

Great work dude….this video will encourage thousands and thousands of people. You are a good person 👍🏻😊

I smiled during the whole video! Love it! You just motivated me

you are so underrated I hope you get the attention you deserves !! ❤️

This actually works, after a week of stretching I gain about 10° wider split, tho I'm not as flexible as he is. I recommend to start with half time than he, I mean 1 minute stretching each leg and 5 minutes for split, once you feel that can do more, then switch to 2 and 10 minutes. Also use a chair for safety before doing splits and do it SLOWLY!

Thanks so much for posting the video!! I am recovering from some medical stuff but once i am healed up, i am going to try this. I wont give myself a time limit but ill follow your exercises. I used to have contortionist flexibility when i was young ( i was a gymnast) but I stopped stretching and i lost my middle splits. I can still do the other ones, but those ones are too easy. I want to do the middle spits again!

I love you!!!! This was both entertaining and educational.

This is different than how most dancers and gymnasts do their splits, stomachs all the way pancaked to the ground, but still so impressive!!

Something to note about the whole “don’t push too hard”/“discomfort is not pain” concept is that it is much more important than just health and potential injury. Science shows that you gain flexibility faster when the stretch is more comfortable, my advice is to never reach the point where you’re feeling tension beyond the loosening of the muscle rise (the face contorting for example, your face has nothing to do with your hips so why waste energy?) I like to get to the point where the muscle feels like a day-long ache is being massaged away, as opposed to being stretched like taffy.

Congratulations! 👏 Thanks for sharing your video and experience!

Excellent work, very inspiring. Looks like I'm learning to split tomorrow!!!

Thanks for posting this! It was great that you shared both your challenges and your progress.... Congrats on getting to the full middle split!

Good Job dude! The femur and pelvic bone situation was causing a huge problem for me and I kept stopping. This is a damn good tip! Now, nothing is stopping me. Cant wait to see you do the front splits. Appreciate you much!

I can do the side split, but I injured my hips trying to do middle splits. I gave up :) Very impressive that you actually accomplished it!!

Your reaction to succeeding brought an actual tear to my eye
