Stretching?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any stretching routines that they do? I need to start stretching more, but I'm bored with the few that I do.

Slim and Limber from the Slim in 6 series is good. If not, YouTube some stretches! Kudos to doing stretching. I always give up on it.

Thanks reverie, I'll look into those. I"m not a good stretcher either, but I've started to get sore, so I figured it was a good time to start sticking to it.

I HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!! stretching!!!!!!!!!!

As a result I have spent the last two years lifting weights and building muscle, but avoiding stretching at all cost.

So about a month ago I get the bright idea to start taking Kuk Sool Won lessons as a catalyst to kick it up to the next level.

OMG!!! the first 15 minutes of class is stretching, and boy oh boy am I ever in deep SH$T. A steel beam is more flexible than I am.

I have been walking around like a 100 year old man complaining about every square inch of my body hurting for three weeks now.

So I don't really have an answer to your question, but I now know the importance of stretching.

I had that same problem when I was doing karate. The first minutes of class were a killer and they never got any better. That ws the only time I stretched all week. I still don't like it, but I'm trying to keep it up.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
