so the best time to stretch is usually after a short warm up, whether by running or other types of excercise. What about stretching in the shower? doesn't the hot water "warm up" your hamstrings and allow you to stretch more efficiently? thanks

so i'm planning to start karate soon and feel confident with my strength and endurance but my flexibility is AWFUL. i don't think i've ever been able to touch my toes with my legs straight at any point in my 17 year life. my arm and shoulder flexibility is fine, but my hamstrings and such are horrible. i was wondering if there is like a 20-30 min workout regiment that is geared solely towards drastically increasing my flexibility. thanks.

thanks. i'll take a look at goju ryu. i'm just looking for styles that are especially fluid when compared with the others

hi. i'm thinking of starting karate and was wondering which styles use a lot of circular motions to generate power, like more loopy fluid motions that generate power more from built up momentum than from brute force alone. Thanks.
