I purchased a book called Core Performance by Mark Verstegen. I felt it was time for me to stop lifting heavy weights and do a profram more targeted towards my active lifestyle. From reading the book, it sounds like this program may do the trick. I guess I will see after 12 weeks. Anyway, the program does not consist of a ton of weigtlifting, more balance and all that jazz. Please dont look at my logs and laugh at me and call me a wimp =).

12 minute cardio at 70 percent of my max heart rate.

Followed that up with a stretching routine.

Hip crossover 1x8
calf stretch 1x8
Hand walk 1x4
Forward lunge/forearm to instep 1x4
Backward lunge with a twist 1x4
Lateral lunge 1x4
Sumo squat to stand 1x8

I am absolutely appaled at my lack of mobility. All these years I been stretching half assed. Now I realize what I been doing wrong and I hope to rectify it and become a little more limber.
