I can't imagine doing it though while involved with a mass building program. I can hardly walk sometimes! -------------- Ischjli "Seven days without exercise makes one weak."

I used to have extremely tight hamstrings and I always stretched before I exercised but the yoga seems to of helped a lot. You can buy cheap yoga videos and do it at home once or twice a week. -------------- Lisa

I don't know much about Yoga but I do know quite a bit about Tai Chi when you are taught by a passionate instructor and not just your local gym staff members. It is amazing for your flexability, power, co-ordination, balance, karma, chi, and total clearness of the worlds problems, and is also a deadly martial art when used properly. ~ Mozza
