Does your ability to be flexible depend on age?

Can you still learn to do the splits even when you're older?

I think it's still possible but you need to work on your flexibility each day to build it up so you're able to do the splits. Once you do that, just keep working on it and keep yourself flexible and you'll still be able to do it when you're older - provided you don't get any joint or muscle issues as you age.

Thanks for Most Helpful.

Yes, but you can get flexible even when you are older but you have to work harder.

If I feel my body, I'm 39 now, than I've really lost some flexibility.
I don't think that if you haven't exercised and you're not "naturally" flexible you probably won't be successful in it. Even at your age which is at least 15 years younger than me :-)

Everything can get more difficult... but then my former mother-in-law started doing yoga in her 40s and she was more flexible at 55odd than I was at 23.
