Need to get flexible, fairly quickly.

[Sub0]

I need some GOOD excercises that you know work. I went to a lot of different sites, but how am I supposed to know if they work? If you have some stretches or something that you know help in getting your flexibility up, please let me know. I have a game in like a week and I was hoping I could at least improve a little.

The reason, if you must know, is that I play goalie in hockey, and it requires you to be flexible, very flexible. I actually go two small injuries doing the splits, and being checked and having my pads forced over my head while I was on my back...head over heels?

Thanks for the help!

Have you watched any Excercise videos? Because doing them a few times a day will get you as limber as a Rubber pencil.

I can do the splits :) even without warming up :D

So be sure to warm up, Do exercises that use the mussle you want to stretch.

For your legs, Squats, jumping forward and backwards, duck walk, etc

Join your schools gymnastics team.

Back in grade seven and eight, I was in gymnastics. Quite a few guys came, most of them breakdancers and the like, in order to improve their flexability and their moves. I find it sad that alot of guys at the school I go to now don't joing gymnastics because of the stigma attatched. Its just a good, fun sport. Take the oppertunity.

Though it might be late in the year to join a school team, check your yellow pages for a club near you. Also, check with places such as the YMCA or community health centers- you might be able to find a cheap program near you.

I thought gymnastics was the realm of obsessed freaks with no life. Was I wrong?

Try yoga. I hear that improves flexibility wonderfully.

I'm a bit lucky in the fact that a lot of the bone attachments (not joints) in my body are attached a little strange. Which is why I can put my leg behind my head or jut my scapula out.

I'm a goalie in hockey too and yet i spend half of my day in front of the Pc.

Wich is strange since i still have an amazing flexibility, maybe it just comes naturally to some people hehe:D .

Anyways before doing exercises be sure to warm up, i got a serious injury at hockey practice because i did not warm up.

1) You can take the stairs at your house or somewhere about 10-15 times a day, i do this mainly because my room is on the 2nd floor but its good exercise.

2) For a good flexibility make sure your pads and now i think about it your whole equipment is not too big, oversized equipment can really bring your flexibility and overall performance down.

I'll think about more ways when i'm a bit less asleep, its 11:00 PM here and i woke up at 7:30 AM...*falls asleep*

Get into a split-like position and have a large individual jump onto your shoulders.

Some people are more naturally flexible. Others have their bones attached differently. I happen to be the latter -- my joints are somewhat different (particularly in the legs), so I have more flexibility than most people.
