- "i Don't Have To Be Chained To The Peg Anymore!"
By: Ted Ciuba | - These economic times require a little bit of flexibility. They require a little bit of movement, a little bit of doing something different.
Well, do you want to be like a circus elephant? If you can believe this or not, those big, massive animals-they tether them down with a little peg that goes into the ground. It's about a foot long, as I understand it.

- The Importance Of Flexibility
By: Kevin Agrawal | - As you age, your muscles naturally lose strength and size and can become less supple and stiffer. This can affect the range of movement around your joints, which may lead to stiffness in the muscles and joints. It is this loss of tissue elasticity that can cause muscles and joints to tighten up. One of the key reasons that muscles lose their natural suppleness and flexibility and can become prone to tears, aches, and pains is being inactive. If the situation is not remedied in time, loss of fle ...

- Buying Out Your Car Lease
By: Ronald W. Firquain | - Most leasing companies allow you a limit of 45,000 free miles over the length of a 3 year lease. This may seem like a good deal at first sight, but when you consider it only comes to 15,000 miles over a 12 month period it is not difficult to foresee why it might be difficult to stay within this limit. Even people working from home have little trouble putting 15,000 miles on their cars. If you exceed the mileage limit, the penalty for each excess mile can be as high as 20 cents.

- Flexibility - More Than Stretching
By: Brian Grasso | - Flexibility is a very misunderstood concept.
For starters, flexibility and stretching have long been considered to be the same thing, when in fact, theyre not.
Performing basic static stretches (like a standard hamstring or calf stretch) can certainly increase the resting length and decrease the tone of a given muscle, but that may have little to no effect on the actual flexibility that a young athlete has.
Flexibility more precisely, refers to the ...

- How To Improve Your Flexibility Safely In To The Splits.
By: Lisa Howell | - There are a few common mistakes people make while trying to improve their flexibility. Number one is the trying too hard with their stretches. Far too many people push their stretches too far and risk tearing muscle fibres in the process. When you stretch a muscle too much it has a protective response called the 'stretch reflex' that actually makes the muscle contract. This means that you not only risk injuring yourself, but that you don't get as much improvement as if you go a little more ...

- Why Do Dancers Often Get Growing Pains?
By: Lisa Howell | - Lots of girls and boys between the ages of 10 and 16 may be experiencing pain related to their rapid growth. Unfortunately as we grow, all the action takes place at the growth plates in our bones, and it does take some time for the muscles, ligaments and nerves to adjust to their new positions. This means that hamstrings that were allowing you to get into the splits easily three months ago might be a little short for the new leg they are attached to! As tempting as it is to stretch them out cons ...

- Kick Higher And Better Than All The Other Women In Your Kickboxing Class
By: Taylor Ryan | - I recently received a question from an avid kickboxer. She stated that her kicks just were not making the cut in height and what could she do to turn the "medium kick" into a real life high kick?
My answer starts with one word... flexibility. Being able to extend your leg up to a powerful kick actually comes from the hip joint. Thanks to the strength in your quads and hip flexors you are able to get the joint to move. Moving is one thing, but moving it well is another.

By: Penny Love Hoff | - It started with tightness in my hip flexors that no amount of stretching could relieve. I limited my running and cardio workouts, did more yoga, took more rest days and still, I couldn't find relief from this darned tightness.

- Flexibility And Strength In Martial Arts
By: Peter Nisbet | - Flexibility is the range of movement that you have in your joints. Some say that this definition should only apply if there is no exterior help to move the joint, but this is not correct. If your joints have a greater degree of movement when aided by an external force, then that degree of movement defines the flexibility.
Hence, if you strengthen you muscles, and these act as the external force, then the flexibility of your joints will allow a greater range of movement than were ...
