become more flexible

I’ve not been doing so well this summer. I haven’t gone to work out over the summer so I haven’t done any stretching or anything. Maybe I should try to stretch as I read or before I go to bed. I don’t really see that happening though.

I recently rediscovered this goal and found a website with some stretches that are supposed to help increase flexibility. Plus, I’ve been working out a lot more lately and the other day I had a breakthrough. When I was stretching my legs, my head rested on them comfortably. I was shocked. I had just been running so my muscles were loose but it made me realize that being more flexible was something I could do!

I added this goal a long time ago but have never really done anything to work towards achieving it. Now, however, I’m realizing that it is important to me. The last two days in a row (I know, only two, it’s a start though) I’ve sat with my legs stretched out while I was working on school work. I think that’s very easy for me to do. Most of my classes assign a lot of reading and I can sit and stretch while I’m reading.

Does anybody know any good ways to improve flexibilty though? I only know that stretching helps but I don’t really even know which stretches to do!
