While one might question the validity of making the goal of touching one's toes. The said person would respond with the sadness of not being able to stretch even within a foot of their toes due to unflexible muscles. There are a great many benefits that come with flexibilty included are:
- increased blood and nutrients to tissues
- improved muscle coordination
- improved posture
- increased physical and mental relaxation
- releases muscle tension and soreness
So apparently this is something definately worth pursuing. Otherwise this person will be an uncoordinated, clumsy, bad blooded, stress case for the said individual's life; hence let such a goal be made, even encouraged.
Let us all celebrate the drive to be a little more flexible!
love the hospital socks. Pretty convenient with grippies on both sides.
ReplyDeleteThey are nice for cold feet, and will keep me from falling either direction as I stretch. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy yoga, it helps with flexibility and it is calming (unless you have a three year old and a baby doing it with you)
ReplyDeleteWhat? I never knew that Tara does yoga! I think I remember he laughing at me when I suggested it in college...the piano looks awesome!
