become more flexible

Am doing well am noticing a little improvment everytime I streach which is really rewarding

i had and interesting conversation with my musclar skeltal specialist about what will happen to my body if I dont streach in terms of aging which was some good motivation too!

This goal I have let fall way-side a little bit, but I am always streaching at the gym – I have started to notice some big improvements, like my knees nearly touching the ground in my groin streach, and being able to bend over and touch the ground (big achievement for me) – ultimately with this goal I would like to be able to – Put hands flat on the floor
- Knees to ground
- Do the splits in both directions
- put my hands on my feet and lie my body down my leg

(They all sound a bit confusing but I know what I mean!

I’m taking dance classes again so I’m in the process of getting flexible :)).

yeah

To achieve this I would shoot to stretch 2-3 times daily.

Five minute stretching before sports and exercise. All this takes is patience!

I haven’t stretched for a while it seems. I don’t know why, I think I just haven’t made time for it. But the other day I did just to see if I’ve lost what flexibility I’ve gained, and I haven’t . I heard falling behind a week can put you back at square one. Glad it didn’t, but I suppose I just need to set a specific time to do this so I don’t stop. Maybe that’ll be my next step, just setting a time, and doing it. Not focusing on what I’ve missed. Hmm…

So I want to be more flexible, but I’m at a loss. I’ve picked up a few books and I’ve started to read around. I’m going to start stretching a few times a day, and doing small exercises to iprove flexibility. We’ll see what’s going on by next week.

Flexibility: Well…I can touch my toes, despite fairly long legs.

So since I’ve been dancing, I’ve been stretching. And the people in my class are really, really flexible and of course, it definitely helps when you’re dancing. Plus, it looks really cool! So I’ve been trying to get in the habit to stretch everyday before I have to go off to work. I’ve kept it up for about 2 weeks and I can already notice a difference. My goal is to keep doing this and to get better at dancing.

starting yoga has really helped with this goal. each time i go im able to move a little further in the pose. it is a wonderful added benefit.
