this is from a newsletter that i've been receiving called the 7 SECRETS OF NUTRITION & FLEXIBILITY, credits below:

#6 of 7:     Flexibility is not genetic

I don't care if your mom is stiff...
... or if your dad can't touch his toes.
Flexibility is not genetic!

My older brother, Ryan, can drop down into
the full side-splits (that's impressive), while my
younger brother, Mike, has a hard time touching
his toes.

Genetically, these two are 99.9% alike, so why
the difference? Well, Ryan stretches and Mike
doesn't. It's that simple.

Forget the rumors: flexibility is not something
you either have or don't have - like red hair or
a clef chin. Flexibility is developed through
physical practice and proper diet. Nothing else.

What does that mean? Well if you did ballet as
and ate a macrobiotic diet, then sure, you'll
probably have an easier time with stretches.

Here's how it works: people move their limbs
through a wide range of motion on a regular
basis tend to be really flexible... the rest of us
tend to be stiff.

So obviously, if you want to improve your flexibility,
you need to start stretching. That's probably not news
to you--but maybe this is:

1 - You need to stretch 5 days per week, but only
for about fifteen minutes

2 - You need to practice long-hold Gravity Poses,
these are passive stretches that target specific areas

That's right. Just 15 minutes per day.

If you're looking for a fast-track stretching
routine, in the YOGABODY Handbook, I have a
5-day program that targets all the major areas
of the body.

It's got color photos and is extremely easy to
follow... but let me give you one passive stretch
for the hips that you can do right now:

1 - standing, bring your feet wider than your hips
2 - squat down and turn your feet slightly outward
3 - bring your arms inside your knees
4 - rest your hands on the floor with your palms
      facing up
5 - drop your head and relax
6 - breath in through your nose and out through
     your mouth for 100 breaths (really, really deep
     breaths)

Keep practicing,  Lucas
