Streches

[James Bell]

Ok well I'm kinda new to the need of serious streches like I'm already in a week and a half of streching inches from the floor with my knees during butterflies and I just today got my lotus up to five minutes and really wbu guys how long should I be able to hold that I can't do it without my hands yet but I'm closer

I've been getting my lotus up to an hour now, I'm guessing you should be able to sit in it as long as you want with ease, right? I'm not sure:

Jason?

I've been paying more attention to my stretching for the past couple of months, doing 5 x 1 minute butterfly stretch morning and evening, usually after a quick jog to warm up. Progress is sloooooowwww! Any supplements I can take to improve this?

If you're looking for more stretches I"d just start looking for hip stretches first thing (you can find a ton on the net). a lot of glute stretches naturaly resemble rubber gaurd style positions so that can't be bad.

I actualy did come across a supplyment just for flexibility on a site called "Yoga Body Naturals". I havn't tried it so I don't know anything about it but so far it's the only one I"ve seen.

Right now my biggest problem is that I seem to be waking up really stiff and a little sore. I havn't really changed my routine but now I seem to be pretty tight untill the next time I stretch... which is not good. Does anybody have any tips on what they do after their stretching routine they may help this?

dude, i wake up feeling stiff every day lol but once ive had breakfast and im 80% functional i play with my nuchucks for a good 5-10 minutes and im good to go. i usually just chill out on my laptop with a butterfly or hip stretches.
sometimes i can feel how far i can go safely without hurting something so i just keep pushing a little more every few minutes, eventually im stretched right out, no pain, no injury, just a simple way to lightly stretch without going for a run or something,
im lazy like that

Ok thanks jay I finally just a bit ago got my lotus headstand but I used my hands and then leaned forward into it I got my friend to snap a pic its great and I don't have the issue of being real sore when I wake up I just get out of bed and go do whatever till I'm awake enough to do some stretching so I can't help you guys there
