Flexibility is your no.1 assett

Your level of Flexibility is directly related to your level of health.

How flexible are you?

Can you touch your toes (with legs locked) ?

Can you touch your head to your knees?

Can you touch your knee to your chest?

Can you hook your hands behind your back (one from the top, one from the bottom) ?

Your body is not supposed to be stiff and in pain, it should be loose and pain-free. The first thing people do when they stretch is complain. It's almost as if they've given up even before they actually started.

Are you that person?

Hopefully you're not.

A 52 point car inspection is what stretching is for the body. You make sure everything is in working order, aligned and balanced. Stretching makes you aware of any weakness you might have in any area of your body.

What you'll especially enjoy (as I do) when you know exactly how to increase your joint mobility is the mental development that comes with it. There's so many things going on internally it would be too long for me to list here.

Pictures and video is worth a thousand words. Why don't I just show you what I mean.

Pick up the video here and if it doesn't double your flexibility like I say it will, just return it for a prompt refund.

Say goodbye to stiffness,

Sibok Martin
