I do several stretches pointed out as no-nos in that article. I have a little routine that I always do, much of which I borrowed from Janet Evans' book. But after reading that I'm thinking I might just quit stretching altogether. :confused:

  • I'm kicking myself for not staying flexible. My legs hyper-extend, so I could stretch them really far. I stopped stretching right before kids (about 10 years ago) and I can barely touch my toes now. I think stretching is a good thing, and I should not have taken my flexibility for granted. I just never thought I would lose it. I was definitely wrong. :badday:
