Flexibility

josmit Posts: 107 Joined: 2005/06/09	2006/11/07, 12:57 AM Hey, I am trying to get more flexible, especially in my legs. I do kickboxing but it’s very frustrating not being able to high kick haha. I stretch pretty much daily but sometimes my groin area starts to hurt so I take some days off. I am especially stiff in this area. I am wondering how often I should do my stretching routine to be the most effective. Any other tips would be great too. Thanks

Put a piece of tape on the floor next to each foot to mark where you were for the day. Do this every evening and you will VERY soon notice a huge difference. One day you will sit there and your legs will go farther and farther apart...then just adjust the piece of tape on the floor.
