    Well, flexibility is all about perseverance. If you want to grab your toes, then sit on the floor, grab a belt, put it around your feet and pull with your arms until it hurts. Stay there for 2 min, then breathe out, pull some more. Don´t do more than 5-6 min of this at a time. Do it every morning, and you'll be seeing serious gains in 3 weeks. Don't forget to develop the strength too.

    Out of all the methods I've heard or used to stretch that has to be the most vicious. Thought I'd never say this, but SwordsMaster your hardcore.

    Think I'm going to go try that now, probably to flexible for it to do much. I think I'll force my roomate to do it.

    Wine is a bit different, as I am sure even kids will like it.

    Heh, thanks. That's how the soviet olympic gymnasts did it. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me...
