KarateKid7 Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Hey guys...I really need some advice and help on how to sit cross legged. iTs quite embarassing i can't. I am 16 and am very athletic for my age and have extremely good upper body flexibilty but need to work on lower body flexibility. I have desgined a stretchin regime but i feel the starting target is to sit in cross legged position. I can sort of sit in it but my kneees come up really high and it hurts after a while. any stretches the good people here at karate forums could reccomend me? thank you ^ _^ "Life is a journey, not a destination""Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless""Knowing is not enough, we must apply.

Practice is the key _ Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Try to sit cross legged and get someone that weight less than you to stand on your knees and push you down do this rugulary, try sitting doing a vertical shape or even better a split and try to touch your nose with your knee. Am not sure if my advice is helping you, just do what you're comfortable in. Somone love oneSomone love twoI love one That one is myself just have been turn down....
