But when I do stretch (irregularly that it is) I try and a) slowly work into the position and hold it for a minimum of 20”; which often results in funny comments from the girl. <BR/><BR/>She’ll walking into a room and ask why I’m just sitting on the floor… to which I’ll reply I’m stretching (isn’t it obvious)?<BR/><BR/>But you don’t look lie your stretching, your legs are bent.<BR/><BR/>Trust me I ensure her, I can feel the burn. <BR/><BR/>I know I should stretch, I just wish it came easier.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441387101727202416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722492664490218082.post-68873988861674205682007-11-27T02:11:00.000-08:002007-11-27T02:11:00.000-08:00Michael,Try www.nsca-lift.org/perform.

Very important as the runner ages.<BR/>-markMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349522832625529847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722492664490218082.post-35354138131071767812007-11-27T01:22:00.000-08:002007-11-27T01:22:00.000-08:00Be careful when stretching like that.

Bouncing into a stretch is an easy path to injury, and it doesn't do much for your suppleness.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802380462713592586noreply@blogger.com
