Re: Champion Fitness Mat

Definitely! I was thinking the same thing. But these vids were awesome in seeing the difference between bending at waist vs that desired c shape, demonstrated it very clearly. I'm trying to focus on folding in the middle like that. Its kind of like curving the middle of the back and tucking in the s...

Thank you for the feedback. I really want to see if I can make this happen. I need to be patient, though.

Re: How long did it take you?

Stretching once per week? I'm stretching every day. Maybe I should back off some? I'm doing the stretches for multiple reasons, though the ss is a key motivator! But I really like how the stretching makes me feel, more limber and less tight before and after running or exercise. I'm really amazed at ...

Re: Champion Fitness Mat

Tried tub suggestion. I'm short (5.6"), so I was not quite tight enough for me to make contact, but it did give me a good stretch in hamstrings and inner thigh. Kind of like a horizontal butterfly yoga move. Other stretches you noted are good too. Saw mat at Target today. I didn't buy, though, want ...

Started about 3 weeks ago, seeing a lot of progress, plow seems to work best. Still about 3-4 inches away from reach. I think if I keep stretching I'll get there, but I would love to know realistically how long I should give this. Any good stretches for plow would be appreciated. Post on this blog h...

Re: Champion Fitness Mat

Thank you for the tips. I have tried similar stretches from reading other posts, but those front curls and the one with soles touching are a little different. I will focus on those. The tub stretch sounds interesting too. I have also tried stretching in the tub, as the warm water seems to be conduci...

Re: Champion Fitness Mat

Hi, Fairly new here. I have been reading the tips on how to ss, and everything seems right on, very helpful. Still have not made contact, but I am amazed at how responsive my body has been to the stretching, am seeing flexibility I did not realize I had. Recently, I have been doing stretches in the ...
