How do rhythmic gymnasts become so flexible?

Answer 1

Well, Rhythmic gymnasts are not just naturally flexible they stretch and stretch and stretch. Some rhythmic gymnasts are more flexible in their legs and to be able to to those amazing split leaps they stretch a lot! And others are way more flexible on their backs. There are also people who are just good at both leg and back flexibility. But remember rhythmic gymnasts have VERY strong core muscles which helps them balance, turn, hold their flexibility skills and jump.

Answer 2

My teacher told me that as you get older you get less flexible, because everyday you don't use a certain muscle that muscle will get less flexible. So i would just recommend streching your back every now and then.

When i was seven i did the proper spilts, only once all the way down, and the next day i could only get two feet away from the ground, and I've gotten worse an worse at them every year...

Yes, the teachers can teach you to move your body in different ways, resulting you in being more flexible.
