Stretching (or Whatever) Is Not for Me

A reader of Stretching Scientifically has sent me this:

“Hi. I have bought the Stretching Scientifically but I think it is not for me… I have tight hamstring and I can barely reach my knees with my legs straight (reaching my toes is a dream…). I have also started karate and with the kicks I feel a lot of pressure in the inner thighs. Any advice please?”

My advice is to ponder this statement by Lao-Tsu: “The longest journey begins with a single step” or its better translation, “Even the longest journey must begin where you stand.”

To the above I can add what W. L. Bateman said, “If you keep on doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep on getting what you’ve always got.”
