How to become more flexible?

[Mookinsx]

I stretch daily but i want to know how other people stretch to keep or gain flexibility.

when i first started dance i wasn't close to being flexible -.- you need to push yourself in the stretches and do certain ones that targets certain parts of your body. just keep practicing and you'll achieve it! :)

thank you i pulled a muscle in my back the other day when i pushed myself so I'm having to be careful now

Hiya, I train in gymnastics and it's important to stretch at least twice a day in the morning and in the evening. for bout 30-40 minutes.

[Mookinsx]

okay, thank you. currently i stretch for 20 minutes each evening but i shall try and do more each evening

[GFEDATY]

can you stretch in the mornings say just on the weekends maybe

[Mookinsx]

yeh on weekeds i can and i do the general wake up stretched in the morning and i used to do a small work out in the morning but i now prefer sleep so i get up 20 minutes later

[GFEDATY]

are you being lazy LOL :o)

[Mookinsx]

indeed i am XD I'm a teenager I'm sure I'm meant to be lazy! XD

[GFEDATY]

I'm a teenager too just having fun with you :o)

[Mookinsx]

being a teenager is great, apart from the whole part where your a teenager and expected to be 'adult' and then also treated like a kid

[GFEDATY]

I know exactly what you mean! LOL

[Mookinsx]

it sucks! although at times its very useful in arguments XDa

[GFEDATY]

We think very much alike!

Gymnastics worked for me. Yoga and Pilates is good too.

[Mookinsx]

yeh i want to do gymnastics but i can't until all my exams are over i also don't want to be the oldest there and not have any friends my age

[Chick180]

Just continue stretching at home till you're able to do gymnastics.
And there are lots of 16 year olds that do gymnastics.

[Mookinsx]

ok, thank you
