Niel is figuring out if he likes what he's doing.
I am learning the hard way that it is important for progress in this goal to stretch every day. Doing a good stretch at the gym is good, but it seems it is not enough. Weekends should be included, and any day that does not include a visit to the gym.

I can now touch the floor early in the morning, and after gym I can touch the floor with the second knuckle of my middle fingers.
I’m also learning that swimming demands a lot of flexibility in the upper body. Working on that too.

A little side-effect of stretching that I’ve noticed: It’s no longer as painful when I bend over the basin when I wash my face in the mornings.

I tried to grab my toes on the bed when I got up this morning. My hands were about 20cm away from my toes. SOOOO bad it will take me a long time for sure…

Defintely making progress with this. It’s a difficult one to measure, but sometimes I can touch my ankles before I need to start stretching.

I recently did a fitness assessment at the instigation of my medical aid. In most areas I was OK, except in body composition (I’m too fat) and flexibility. I’ve known for a while that I was not very flexible, but because I never measured it I didn’t know it was so bad.
I think I should stretch every day. I do stretch after my usual gym sessions, but on weekends I can stretch too, and after my weights class too, where the stretching is a bit sketchy.
