OrenJuMok Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Just want to see how often you guys/girls stretch... Im working on the splits and want to see if i can get away with only stretching once a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDevilAside Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I hate stretching, especially because I can barely touch my toes. But I still try to stretch atleast every other day.

Budderfly Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I try to stretch everyday. In the last year I noticed a difference by strecthing more often. When I brush my teeth, I sometimes do it in horseriding stance for the full two minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian_guy Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I stretch every MA lesson which means 4 times a week. And (almost like Budderfly) I go in horse stance anwering the phone at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramymensa Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I started to enjoy stretching since I've noticed the results. I can now do the splits And my flexibility is getting better every day. So STRETCH. World Shotokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotochem Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I really try to stretch every day. Unfortunately, I dont always have the time so I stretch as often as I can which is about 5 days a week for 5-15min. It really makes a big difference for the 35 and older crowd. Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta1 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 "Several times a day!!", but only because my doctor and physical therapist have both told me I have to. Normally I stretch at least once a day, before and sometimes after workouts. Freedom isn't free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looneyas Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Depends on what type of stretching you are doing that sets the frequently. I stretch 4 times a week , Thats because i do 90 minutes of Ismoteric Stretches and its hard work, But i can also do all 3 way splits. It includes my horsemans stand with 50kg weights and lunges. I use a set pattern for 3 months then i change my stretching routine to different stretches but ismoteric stretches...

Terriator Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 "Several times a day" I'm basically stretching every time I don't have anything else to do....like when watching TV or making homework etc. Great way to get some training while doing other more exciting stuff. . It really pays off to strech when watching TV etc. I mean: That's several hours Never think that Karate is practiced only in The Dojo. The entire world is a Dojo, and true Karate training takes place twenty-four hours a day./Gichin Funakoshi Sensei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelica d Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I actually enjoy stretching! It can get annoying when people think you're showing off by doing the splits though. I only do it after training because thats when my muscles are most tired and so its easier to do. Otherwise, I stretch whenever I'm bored...I can't ever just sit still, I have to fidget at the same time - it drives my family crazy!
