How I Learned The Full Splits In 30 Days

- I have never been flexible. Inspired by Logan Paul and taught by Jujimufu, I wanted to see what would happen if I stretched every single day for 30 days. Learning the front splits was NOT EASY but I'm grateful for the experience. This is the journey of how I learned the front splits in 30 days.

Kudos to you Ben.
Warmup:
Leg Swings
Active Stretching:
Hold one minute each side
Repeat 5-10 times
Saving for future reference lol
Thank you! :)
@@julaka897 is it 15-20 mins each leg??

Thankyou for this !
I'm a 60 year old lady and I would just like to tell you young man this video struck inspiration. Because of your uplifting words you encouraged me to do the splits. It took me 83 days but I did it. I would like to tell you lot to never give up and chase your dreams. You kids keep me young
Hey that is amazing to hear! So proud of you :)
That's incredible💚 awesome work!!!!
I`m a 40 year old woman and try to make split last 3 weeks. Thank you, you give me a hope. :)
Thats so cool nice job ❤
Amazing!! 💪😁
So happy that he did not cling to showing a perfect pose on day 30. He kept it real, so real. Loved it
Yess for sure! Ben is awesome

Y’all I’m not gonna lie, it’s amazing that he achieved flexibility this quickly with the way he was stretching but please don’t do this. I’m very amazed he didn’t get injured. I tell my students all the time always do stretches that lead up to your splits before actually doing them. And NEVER bounce in your splits if you have little to no flexibility to start out with. You run the risk of ripping your hamstrings.
He might do a warm up just before recording the quick split?
@@MUSIC483 that’s what I was thinking at first but he said in the video that he went strait into it
@@Kayallday__ ohh I think I missed that part
@@Kayallday__ now that was stupid
Of him.
You don't need a warmup to do the splits, it's called cold flexibility yes warming up the tissue allows further range of motion. Best way to achieve increased flexibility is doing it with weight e.g. Empahsied eccentric training

Way to go. I taught myself as a kid at school. Fast forward to today, now I'm a grandmother who can still do the splits 😄
That's amazing! You are an inspiration
that is gangster lol

Not gonna lie, it would be awesome to train the splits with a grandmother

I learned to do the split last spring in quarantine (wtf, it's been so long since corona started). I was never that flexible so I was really proud of myself for doing this! Although I don't recommend just "sitting" on the split to anyone though. Not only is it quite painful, but it is also not the best or safest method. I used different stretching techniques for all the different leg muscles and then did some PNF at the end of each session in order to accomplish the splits.
Oh this is motivating. What would you recommend instead of just sitting in a split ? What stretching techniques did you use instead?
Have been doing this routine for a month now and even though I am yet to achieve a full splits, I am through 70 percent... Have been trying splits since long and this is the only video that helped me physically as well as mentally...
YAY! so awesome to hear that. stay motivated, you are doing so well. Do it for future you!
How about now?
@@qkarling2256 while I did not achieve the full side splits, I was through 90%… I was inconsistent with the practise cuz had a lot of other engagements… but I was and still am on yoga practise the whole time which helped me with achieving further flexibility… even though I have not practised the splits since long, yet you do have muscle memory and you can always pick up where you left when you want to start again… so I would still say this video is beneficial… Hope that helped!.😊
sounds great! I am beginning with just now. Would u mind sharing how much time u spent warming up and then on actually doing the front split?
Great video!! In my case, that 30 day progress took me almost 10 months, my advice, never give up, no matter how stiff you think you are, with the correct training you will get the results you're looking for.
That's some really good advice! Never give up 💯
@@johannes01 You've been on the Browney channel! I can't believe I randomly found you here too!
I did taekwondo for almost 20 years. In one time of my life, I began to strech in 30 mins sessions 3 times a week. Stretching front split, lateral split and butterfly position. I improved during a month, but I never reached his depth. According to my trainers, I had to be content with what I had achieved, but if after so many years training flex and a month intensively, I had to admit that genetics is all in the equation. Since I am currently uneployed, I will do this routine, just because I am bored and because I just want a reminder every ten years that stretching is painful but somehow rewearding. Wish me luck!
I suppose you need much more time to stretch and a good teacher to correct you. Then you will do the split 😀
Do it like in yin yoga. Long time, i mean... Go longer than 30 minutes. It has to work
Keep us posted and good luck. Go get 'em!
I used to do taekwon-do too, and there's a bit of a trick to the middle splits that they don't really tell you, going straight out to the sides is actually anatomically impossible for a surprising amount of people, you have to angle your pelvis forward so the front of your pelvis is nearly facing the ground. Have a look at some people doing it when you can, nearly everyone does it that way.
czcams.com/video/LfEOdVgkOP0/video.html this video makes the split clear why most people better not go to the max
great humor and editing, and quality content! Thanks!
Superb video bro! Just what i was looking for. Love how you documented your journey whilst portraying it in a humerous yet crisp manner. Kudos👍
I appreciate it man!
My man right here👋
Good to see you here big dawg
Accidentally clicked it. Didn’t think I was going to watch this whole thing. Glad I did. This was hella encouraging!
This makes so much sense for everything in life.
Yoir journey is so relatable, I have been trying to get to the front splits since quarentine too! I also love your story telling! New subscriber :)
I lost my ability to do front splits sadly
Loved this video! Informative, hysterical and paced well! Love your sense of humor!

Yo thanks Javier I really appreciate that man!
You are an AMAZING story teller and so inspiring! Getting in my splits now! 💜
Yay! Thank you!
I really liked the two qoutes in your video so much so that i actually started to make myself a qoute book to get motivated and happy if I'm getting in that spiral of negative thinking - Thank you so much!

Guys i have been stretching since last December and today I finally made it im so proud of myself
amazing work!! Proud of you
What was your journey like and do you get the PNF part.
How long did it take bro?
@@TaehunSeong. Idk at 40-50 days I was at the same level as him. And then I went full down after 90 days
U did amazing!!! U lifted my spirits up! 🔥
What if he secretly could do the splits all along and just acted stiff for the first part of the month?
I ALSO JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THIS HAHAHAHA
I was thinking the exact same thing xD
This is most definitely the answer. Alot of body transformation do this. They say they did it in 1 year naturally, when it took them 2 years with gear. Videos with incredible transformation get lots of views. Ben Polson is most definitely lying. Anyone who stretches will tell you it may take several months to a year to achieve the splits. With how inflexible Lying Ben Polson started from, it most definitely would take more than 30 days. Just 1 inch per week lower is solid progress.
@@Ben-kp1dh Yeah, kinda cringe how he makes it seem like you can get a split in 30 days.
@@Ben-kp1dh you don’t think it’s true? I will be testing it myself. I’m fit and 26 years old paramedic in Canada. I’ll be starting the stretching and I am around where he started (probably a bit worse) I’ll take pics when I start and after 30 days. I don’t have the equipment or skills to blog like him but I will test this theory with diligence.
And most important: Start now! Yes, right now! Don't do it tomorrow or in 30 minutes. Do it right this second! That way, you won't procrastinate!
It's 3:40AM
I’m in bed failing at sleep.
You are totally right. I need to buy a whiteboard to make a note of it and not forget!
So Im 14 days in...feeling great! Am about where you were on day 22. Can’t believe in that last week you got so much movement. Hoping I can do the same! I’m the least flexible person ever and your video is 100% the reason 1. I’m doing it finally after wanting to do the splits my whole life and 2. The reason I haven’t given up yet. I swear I’ve watched this masterpiece of a video at least 15 times for the constant motivation. I’m really hoping you make an updated video on how your splits are now, 👍🏼 thanks for the amazing content and motivation!!
So awesome to hear Taylor! Thanks for the update and the kind words!
Thank you for sharing, excellent job, very inspirational!
Juji is an absolute beast... I've known about him for ages it's awesome to see someone reference him in a random video I stumbled across
Still havent learned how to do splits but i have no regrets coming accross this video
Helpful, educational, funny (like, laugh-out-loud!), motivating AND keeping it real all at the same time ... superstar material!!
I already had my splits long before finding this video, but around the 6 minute mile you said 'Allow your actions to dictate your feelings and not let your feelings dictate your actions.' I love that. Great advice!
day 1 just started. fingers crossed!
how is it?
Good luck
Hows it going??
Me too!!😀
@@thatslife2769 ughhh.... getting there, man, don't feel my thighs, can't walk properly, but getting there... :)
I've never felt such a necessity for being able to do a complete Split.
👌🏼😃
Well done!! You have some real motivation 👍
Soooo motivating Ben, not just for the splits as I realised at the end! Thank you 😄
Yess such an motivating video!
I’ve been doing stretches and split practices consistently for four years now and still got ways to go. Everyone’s body is different and doesn’t progress this fast. Be easy on your body everyone ❤
Loved the lady rolling her back in the background hahaha
Love this video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice job, great video 👍 thanks for sharing.

Cool video👌 I must try it. Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations. Great video 👏👏👏 Tks for advices🙏
Here starting my journey since 6am. Always wanted to do the splits. Lets see if my body holds up. Motivated with goals. I used to stretch for hours a day. Definitely gotten lazy
You got this bro!! The time is now.
Thank you so much. I am now stretching everywhere
How is it going?
How'd it go?
How was your stretch journey? I don’t even wanna start mine lol
Great motivational video!!
To reduce the pain when sinking lower into the stretch. When you're getting ready to push inhale and when pushing down exhale. With each breath try to relax your body while sinking in with your body weight. Breathing is a good practice while stretching and exercising :))
Hey, thanks for the info!
I will finally work on this as well. Thank you for the motivation.
I love the attitude, realness, practicality and "well put together-ness" of this video! Thanks!
I appreciate that!
Great video!
I just love challenge videos!
It's so much fun watching someone's progress and results in such a short amount of time! Just proves what's possible with some dedication and discipline!
Just finished a 30-day cycling challenge myself and it was awesome :)
Came from r/flexibility, well done
Same here
Me too! Fantastic video, well researched and looks simple/effective, gonna get started on this method!
Thanks Flexibility crew!
@@Watchamocalit Good luck with your journey!
Great video. Enjoyed it very much. Keep it up!
I made a New Year’s resolution this year to learn Scottish Gaelic and achieve a full split. The language part kinda fell through because I had to dedicate more of my time to another language I had to learn for work. Up until today, was I reminded more firmly that I wanted to achieve the splits before the end of the year. Your video appeared in my recommended feed despite my not searching for a single video on how to get the splits! I wanted to thank you for posting this video and showing me and countless others this goal is achievable! As a man,as an amateur, and not having to undergo any horrendous rigorous training at the same time! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Eyyy im so happy i could help you, thanks for leaving a comment and i hope your journey goes well. Its more about mindset and consistency, sitting in the stretch is the easy part. you got it!
Loved this I always see stretching videos where people are already so much farther than where I am! so this definitely made me feel motivated about being able to actually do it in 30 days!
Have you tried it? If yes how did it go?
Finally someone who showed up a truly motivating journey☺️👍, instead of just a 12 yr old gymnast showing how to do splits.
What a refreshing video. Loved every part of it!!
Thanks so much!
I am now motivated. Thank you for this!!
4:27 bruh this guy has won ninja warrior and the splits is his life long goal
Wut???
@@Phoenix-qp4fz yep
I have been doing this routine (w/ slight variation) for 29 days straight (averaging ~20min/sessions). The results have been good. I am not at full splits just yet - might need 1-2 more months. My flexibility at the start was decent (I had been doing casual yoga for a while). I measured the distance between my front and back foot a week and after three weeks I was able to increase that by more than a 12". I will provide another update in a months time or earlier if splits are achieved by then.
You do them?
You're so inspiring and I learned a lot about achieving any goal. Thank you!
What were your goals? And did you achieve them / are you on the way to achieve them?
Good man 👍🏽 thanks for sharing your process
I'm 6'5! Ive been doing yoga for a few months now, but Will try the split for sure!! Thanks dude.great video
And how is it going with you split?
Who is here after he won Ninja warrior
Congratulation Champ you deserved it.
Very well done! You have motivated me to do this challenge too
I loved the edit!! and the resutls too very inspiring !
Thank you so much!!
Tip: when you are gonna try to do a split make sure when you stretch your legs or if you do a split mke sure to start off with a halfway split so you dont break your legs after that when its been 50 seconds or 30 mins (recommended) you sit and stretch your leg forwards and massage it ive been learning taekwondo for a year now (high blue belt) i learned how to stretch my legs for 1 week if you want to progress eat food on a daily rotating basis before you stretch do 15 to 20 jumping jacks so that your legs and arms are ready to deal with the split and some of you might think that when you split its hard or maybe even painful yes it is but when you excercise your body or muskoloskeletal system from time to time your splits will eventually progress.
I'm starting with this in February, January is about getting discipline first again
Thank you for giving me hope!
Good job! And great editing!
Great vid, I do have one question though:
You said you would switch your leg at each minute at the beginning of the video, but when incorporating PNF you said at the minute mark you would do an active stretch for 10s and then deepen the stretch. Would you then switch sides or stay on the same one? How did you structure your time when you added in PNF?
Great question, I didn't explain it perfectly. I would start on one leg, at around 30secs I would activate the muscles and press against the ground for 10 seconds and then hold for another 20 until 1 minute is up. Then switch legs and repeat. it may take me 5-10 seconds to switch legs but thats ok.
@@BenEcho That's exactly what I wanted to know, thanks for the detailed reply!
I WANNA be flexible again after 5 years of hip arthritis. Now my side leg splits is zero but front one is perfect!
Time for change!!!
You Are So motivating me! Thanks 💪
Really great video. Great analogies for life, relationships, faith, work and personal and emotional growth. Here’s a like and a sub. Keep at it! Please keep this kid of content coming.
In the early 90s everybody tried to learn the split because of Van Damme. I used to practice it in a sandbox as a kid and got really close but gave up when I no longer saw progress.
Awesome video! I hope to complete this challenge myself!
Please give it a go Natasha!
Great video, thanks for all the info!!!
yea fun video and good editing skills
Woo I appreciate it!
