If you go to the gym there is a stretching corner,that’s right a stretching corner.  Most people don’t even realize that there is a spot in the gym to work on flexibility, but it’s there.  Usually people don’t work onflexibility because they have none.  In all of our classes it is woven into each day.  We stretch through two ways, dynamic and static.  Static flexibility is when you are stationary and you try to improve yourflexibility, but dynamic flexibility is done in a wide range of motion, like when you are kicking and punching.  After consistent training you will find yourself more comfortable in your own skin, especially after dropping a bunch of pounds!
