How to Do a Split

By Amy Van Deusen, About.com Guide

To make sure your hips are square, try doing your split against a wall. Your back knee should be almost touching the wall, and your back leg should be bent at a 90 degree angle upward. Be sure that your back foot is pointing straight to the ceiling.

You can also do this stretch with a friend holding your leg and helping you to keep your foot pointing straight up.
