of course you are not too old to learn how to do a split! The most important thing to keep in mind is that it takes a while and can't just push your split down all the way the first time otherwise you will tear a muscle. When you are practicing splits push yourself to go farther and farther down and eventually you will make it. Hope this helps!How can i teach myself to do the splits safely?
Just keep doing it. And you will be doing it in no time.
