After doing the warm ups you're ready to do some serious stretching. To get the suppleness of a contortionist I recommend 3 hours of exercising each day, warm ups not included. If possible try to exercise longer than that. A way is to divide up the exercising so that you'll do them during the day. I myself exercise in the morning, while having lunch, after getting home and before going to bed. This way I don't loose any of my suppleness. You'll soon find out that you can do many of the exercises while doing something else like watching TV, reading a book or even chatting on the internet and that you'll be comfortable. If you have done all the exercises and feel that you have more time then do them over again. Repeats are the secret to become and stay real supple. Now how to do the exercises properly. I do all of them every day, but of course it's not possible for a new beginner to do all. Therefor I have tried to divide them up so that the easiest are in the beginning and then the level of advancement increases the further you go. Always begin from the first exercise and work towards the more advanced. Don't overdo any exercise no matter how advanced level you are in and follow the instructions carefully. Let your own body set the limits and instead of overdoing do many repeats. Time will tell whether you can do the exercise. Not all are able to do all the exercises at once and the difference in how long it takes for succeeding in an exercise or position is different for everyone. Some people have EDS, myself among them, and manage to do most of the exercises very soon while others need months. Take your time and you'll won't hurt yourself. Everyone can be a contortionist if they exercise properly.
