I adding mentally adding “Stretch every morning” to this goal. Too much stretching tires me. Just the right amount of stretching leaves me energized.

Basic flexibility training paid off in dividends this winter while skiing. I was able to ski longer, harder, and faster than ever before. Most importantly I was able to fall time after time without injury. Had it not been for stretching some of the falls I took this year would have caused injuries, which I have been plagued with in the past.

And yet ! I still can’t touch my toes. Standing 5’9, I can however kick the top of a 7 foot door frame. I’ll consider this goal done if I ever get around to touching my toes without having to warm up first.

In the past I’ve only touched my toes after sessions of heavy deadlifting. Without a warm up I usually don’t get my finger tips past my knees.

I’ve been stretching quite frequently and have made some improvements but I have a long way to go before I’m anywhere near Gumby.
