Stretching

When I was younger I was flexible.  Now I am not.

I know I was meant to keep stretching all the time but the reality is that I didn't.  Now I can't kick as high and my muscles feel tight as a result.  So going forward I intend to enter a reasonable stretching routine.  By that I mean one that I will actually do after each session rather than some complex long stretching routine that I will just ignore if I have had a hard session.

The stretching routine for now is as below:

6 x 1 minute left and right seated single leg stretch (other leg in to groin)
6 x 1 minute left and right lying hip stretch (e.g. right foot placed on top of left knee then left leg is pulled in.
3 x 1 minute box splits



I won't do any more as then we start getting towards to much time.  Also if I do the above properly I should be able to start some progress on getting more flexibility to ensure that more intense stretches can be added on alternated.
