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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
