Update.

Stretching has been going well.  Finally!  I really like this alternating legs/back routine.  I feel like it’s really helping my flexibility.  I can now touch the bottoms of my feet to my head in a cobra!  I’m doing back stretching today so I’ll take a pic of this.  I almost have my right split all the way down, and my left split goes down every time but I still have to push it down a little.  I’m waiting for my split to feel like nothing when I stretch it so that I can move on to oversplits!

I’m planning on adding more to the ‘exercises’ part of this blog soon, because I found some really good back stretches.

This weekend is going to suck.  I have 3 tests to study for, one that is due on Sunday because it’s for an online class.  But it’s gonna be quiet in my house so I can actually concentrate.  I dunno what’s wrong with me; I’m having the hardest time focusing and getting my ass in gear to study.  I still need to do really well this semester for when I transfer, even though they won’t see my grades until I get accepted and have to send my transcripts :/ Anyway, time to read my math book so I can understand it in class.

New Stretches!

Well I tried those new stretches…feels good!  I can really tell the difference between upperback/shoulders and mid back.  I need to work on my splits more so that I can start backbending with splits.  I did the ‘pigeon’ pose for the first time..I’ve been kinda doing it for a while but I wouldn’t twist my knee so that my thigh was on the floor.  Anyway I can do my left side well of course because I’m a lefty but I need to work on my right side.  I think if I just keep doing that stretch along with cobras and elbow stands against a wall…and maybe some bridges haha.  I want to start stretching my neck a bit too since it doesn’t go back as far as some people.  Anyway just wanted to give you a quick update; time for dinner!  Hopefully I will post some new pictures before February.
