you cant do the splits in one week but you can do them in 3 weeks. this is how i did them and it actually works.
Week 1: reserve 30 minutes a day to do stretching - 2 sessions a day , 15 minutes each (including weekends)
do 15 minutes in the morning and 15 at night. make sure you are warm before you start stretching otherwise you wont get any more flexibler.
*stretches to do are at the end of thin post
Week 2 : reserve 45 minutes a day - 3 sessions, 15 minutes each
do 15 minutes morning, 15 after school and 15 at night
Week 3 : increase your stretching time to one hour - 4 sessions, 15 minutes each
15 minutes in the morning, 15 after school, 15 after dinner and 15 at night (before bed).
* if you cant do these times make sure each session is at least 2 hours apart
Some helpful stretches:
V-sit: sit with your back flat against a wall. Bring both legs as far back to the wall as you can and keep proper posture and straight legs. While keeping your posture, bring your back down towards the floor as your arms reach out in front of you (not down) as far as possible. Feel the stretch. Do this first pointing your toes, then flexing your feet. Try moving your legs out further as you go on. Also, you can reach out towards your right and left legs. Remember to breathe!
Straight leg stretch: I don't have a better name for this one. Basically, keep your legs straight and feet together. Stand, and without bending your knees, reach down as far as possible. Put your weight on your toes (not your heels)-this feels a bit unnatural at first, but it is the proper way to stretch. You can also do this one sitting. Sit with proper posture, legs straight out in front of you and ankles together. Reach out with your arms. Do this both flexing and pointing your toes.
Sideways stretch: Ok, so you've probably figured out that I'm making up names for the stretches as I go along. Pretty creative, eh? Anyway, the "sidways stretch" goes like this. Stand in the straight leg stretch position. Now bring your right leg out in front of you (like you're taking a step forward) about two feet. This doesn't have to be precise, just as long as you're close. Stand up, keep your posture back. Now reach down to your right foot, keeping your posture back and your hips in line. Your hips shouldn't shift to aid you in your stretch. Go down slowly, and if you hips shift, come back up and try again. Go as far down as you can without shifting hips. After doing this for a minute, bend your left leg and continue stretching to your right. Now switch legs.
4 Stretch: Named because it looks like a number 4. Sit down on your butt and put both legs straight out in front of you. Bend your left leg so that your left knee is on the ground, your left foot also on the ground with the flat side touching your right knee, and your right knee is straight with toes pointed. See the 4 that your legs make? Stretch, with proper posture, to your right leg. Reach out with your arms, as far as you can. After a minute, remembering to breathe, of course, flex your right foot and continue reaching out for another minute. Switch legs, and repeat.
Standing V-leg stretch: Stand up, posture back, with your legs shoulder width apart. You can go a little wider if that's more comfortable for you, but try to keep it as close to shoulder width as possible. Bring your straight arms between and beyond your legs-reach back. Also reach to your right and left legs. Reach down the center, too. As with the straight leg stretch, keep your weight over your toes rather than your heels.
Half squat: Squat. Keep your right leg where it is and place your left leg straight out your left side, toes pointed, as if you were doing the center splits with your left leg. Put your right hand on the ground to the left of your right foot. Use your right elbow to push your right knee out. You should feel stretching your inner thighs. Now flex your feet. Switch sides.
The splits: Well, if you want your splits down, shouldn't you be doing them? . Never be discouraged by how far you are from the splits. Just get as close as you can and hold it there for awhile (a minute). Relax, and repeat a few times. You can also do the splits on the wall (preferably, a doorway, so you can keep your balance). In a few days, after doing multiple stretches, you will notice that you're getting closer. Rejoice!
*Note*-more stretches have been submitted through comments; I edit this post whenever someone leaves a stretching idea. All the new stretches are at the edit section (end) of this article (and in the comments).
All of these stretches usually take about a minute. Above, I've given you much more than fifteen minutes of stretching, so spread these stretches out. Do some in one session, others in another session, but try to stretch as many muscles as you can each session. Don't confine yourself to just one stretch. Do both splits in each session at least once (preferably at the end, to see your improvement).
Another thing to remember is to stretch both legs. A lot of people stretch one leg, while the other leg is completely inflexible. This leads to uneven kicks. It's a good idea to get both legs flexible so you aren't stuck with being good with one split and not the other. You never know what split you will encounter in the future!
Remember, you must focus on and want the splits, or else you'll never get them. The wanting part is easy. Who wouldn't want to do the splits? The focus is the hard part. Stretching in your kitchen, for instance, is a bad habit. You'll see that bag of chips and box of cereal and be completely distracted. You've lost your focus. If you truly want your splits, you should be stretching like you're meditating. Think of nothing other than those splits, breathing, and your flexibility. This is not the time to daydream. Now go stretching, and remember, think:

How can you learn to do a split in one week?
You have to stretch daily and hold your stretches long enough to improve you. It also depends where you are on your splits. If you are an inch from the ground then u can learn it in a week. If u are 10 inches from the ground it might take a little longer then 1 week. OR; You can open you're legs into a second position and get up against the wall. Then just try to get closer and closer to the wall and hopefully that can stretch out your legs enough to do the split. But like that comment above, just keep on stretching and find out how close you are to the ground (:
