ok I've seen advertisements for these funky leg stretcher things that you sit in and they stretch your legs for you. What's the deal with these? Do they hurt? Would you recomend them? Just wondering. :karate:

Joe, personally I have never used on or felt the need to. Take a look at the thread on splits and see if any of the links others have put in there help you out any.

Suggest you take Sai's advice and check out all the stretching posts. We had one of those stretchers at the school a long time ago...one time I got stuck in it (meaning I couldn't release the tension on it ) and another time it leaked fluid all over the dojo floor (hydrolic fluid or lubricating fluid not sure really).

 

Just like those ab machines ... just a freakin waste of $$$ nothing can take the place of human intervention! :up:

You know Joe .... actually you can try taking two wavemasters if you have them at your school/club and stadle your legs apart having the each wavemaster in front of each shin/ankle and just keep stretching your legs apart. The weight of both the bags gives you a good resistance to work the stretch. Anyway you can add resistance will work the stretch and really that is the whole gimmick behind those costly devices.!!

It takes sacrifice to be the best.


There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.

Yes correct Bon ...standing kicking bags with the weighted bottoms. Sitting on floor ... legs out to a "V" ... bag along each inside portion of leg, then either "scooch" forward into stretch or have someone move each bag closer to you/
