How to be able to touch the floor with the palms of my hands while standing up
It made me
addicted.
 "Sports has to become a natural part of one's life - this isn't a goal that I from now on have complished, I have to reach for it every time."
How I did it: I've finally taken sports seriously. Flexibility is just one goal, but I always meant it as a part of healthy keeping-fit routine. In this particular case however: exercising and then stretching is one thing, but yoga proved to be much more efficient in the end. And I always thought yoga is such a waste of time! I still do it my way though, I've only been to one yoga lesson.

How I did it: I'm very flexible by birth, so this wasn't much of a goal. I discovered I could do this in a gymnastics class and I was the most flexible kid, hence the only one who could do it. Read how I did it…

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.
jessieb4cnusb swam a mile and did some crunches today.. tomorrow jogging or lifting
I’m very unflexible so this one is going to be a challenge.. We’ll say the deadline is November 1st to have this one complete.. Goodluck to everyone!

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.
