I started a stretching routine about a month ago (correct stretching, from Bob Anderson's "Stretching" book, not just something I made up), thinking it would help with post-exercise soreness, but not have much effect otherwise. When I started with the thigh stretch (where you sit on the floor, tuck one leg in, and reach for your ankle with both hands) I could get my grip to an inch or so above my ankle. As of yesterday I noticed that my grip is now actually touching my ankle. And the groin stretch too, before I could only grip my toes, now I can reach just past my toes. Yay!

You also now have me lemming for that book.

Wow, great news My daughter and little sister are in cheerleading together. They are both working hard to gain flexibility to do the splits. I use to be a dancer myself and thought I could show them a few pointers on how to do it. I was so sad that I cannot even reach my toes these days. So I have now set a goal of being able to reach them soon - this post was just the motivation I needed! Thanks for sharing
