What are some way to improve my flexibility???

Im already what some people say as, "naturally Flexible" i can bend my arms and legs in ways most people cant (im not that much of a freak, lol). But i want to maintain it. I do a lot of submission grappling (BJJ for those who know), and my flexibility comes as a huge advantage. SO my question is, what are some good stretches to do to maintain or improve my "natural flexibility". THANKS MUCH!!!

You should check out some books on stretching %26amp; yoga for more detailed ideas.


Diet has a lot to do with healthy blood in the muscles keeping them limber.


Eat healthy, whole foods and avoid a lot of junk.


Here are some good ideas:


1. Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming.


2. Eat Whole, Organic foods like: Broccoli, Cabbage, Organic Brown Rice, Beans, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Apples, and other fruits and vegetables in their Natural State.


3. Avoid eating corn, white bread, white rice, white potatoes, candy, sodas, chips, and anything else that you already know you shouldn’t be eating.


4. Drink clean water as your beverage of choice. Avoid Fruit drinks and fruit juices (unless YOU juice them yourself)


5. Stop smoking, drinking beer %26amp; wine, and drinking coffee.


6. Get 8 hours of sleep each night.


7. Hang out with people who want to be healthy.


8. Avoid anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup.





Tone up the muscles:





1. Join a gym and get a trainer.


2. If you’re short on cash, start a light stretching %26amp; yoga regimen.


3. Do push-ups, and light dumbbell curls for the upper body.


4. As I said above, walk, run, swim, and or bike


5. Take an aerobics class, a yoga class, or some other fitness class.


6. Join the local YMCA.


7. Buy or borrow this book by Bill Pearl called GETTING STRONGER.


In the book, he describes everything you need for a great fitness plan.


8. Compare your fitness scores to other people by clicking on the President’s Challenge Brochure link here: http://www.presidentschallenge.org/misc/...








Mental Health:





1. Get a friend to talk to each day about your feelings.


2. If you have some money or insurance, get a counselor to talk to.


3. Learn how to meditate.


4. Join a support group for the issue you’re dealing with.


5. Ask your Higher Self (or God) for guidance.


6. Start keeping a diary or journal about your feelings %26amp; thoughts.


7. Write a ‘gratitude’ list every night.


8. Do something that makes you happy each day like: listen to your favorite music, draw, paint, write, or anything creative.


9. Do something for someone else who needs help.


10. If the above suggestions don't improve your mental health, talk with your therapist about the possibility of taking some medication.





Take care of yourself
