How to stretch and improve your flexibility!
Abe Alpert | October 25, 2009
When I say Larry is one of the most flexible people I know, it’s no wild stretch of the imagination.I’m not just talking about physical flexibility, but in every sense of the word. A long term client, Larry touts the benefits of both massage and being flexible. ”Regular stretching may extend your life”, surely your athletic life. He believes massage makes stretching easier to accomplish with less discomfort.
As Larry explains, one keys to learning how to stretch is to “concentrate past the pain”. Ironically, to really be 
Gumby you have to develop an iron will. While holding your stretch you might concentrate on your breath. While breathing, during your stretch, notice your body sensations are almost always more uncomfortable when your inhaling. Pain in the body often reduces during the exhalation phase of breathing. Another key, do your stretching for at least 15 minutes a session, otherwise your wasting your time.
Larry does some exercise coaching, if your serious about getting more out of your body. His understanding of stretching is unique. This is not a”Yoga” approach. To inquire about Larry’s unique training and what he can do for you drop him a line at …..lrryhurley@yahoo.com
