Bend and Stretch

Remember that old tune from Play School? Bend and stretch, reach for the stars, here comes Jupiter, there goes Mars…

Why didn't they tell us we should be doing this regularly from a young age? Or maybe they did and I failed to register this. 

Anyway, one of my goals this year is to get more flexible - metaphorically as well as physically. 

I’m trying, and sometimes succeeding in remembering to do my in stretches. 99s, hip flexors, clam shells, lateral lunges, bridges…. You name it I should be doing it.

But why is it so hard to get down on that bloody yoga mat?

What does anything good for you always have an unpleasant tinge? Why do I avoid this? Even though I know there are great benefits from being flexible? I can’t remember what they are but I know it’s good for you…
