 |
|
I streatch a few-to-several times every day. I have basic splits. However, my legs, especially my left, lock up two or three times every day and it hurts like heck to get them open again. Is there any kind of streatching meathod I could apply to fix this?

That sounds strange. I am not sure what you mean by locking up. Could you elaborate a bit more?

I feel like I am constantly losing my flexibility and then pulling my muscles back into place. After I streatch, I feel really lose and flexible. Then it can be anywhere from two-to-six hours later and I'll feel like I've never streatched before in my life. My legs will feel tight and sometimes even walking becomes more difficult.
What I was asking, is if there's a chance I may be doing something wrong or if there's something different I could do to maintain flexibility for a longer period of time without having to streatch three-to-six times per day.

Stretching that many times a day seems a bit excessive to me. I wouldn't think you would need to stretch that often to maintain your flexibility.
What you might do is stretch out cold more often, to see how far you can go without being warmed up. That may help your body adapt to not being warm, and being able to be a bit flexible.

Interesting. So, you think it might be the cold weather doing this to me?

I really don't know for sure. I don't think it would be the weather, but who knows? If it persists, I would consult a doctor.

I think I'd rather talk to someone who actually knows sometehing about flexibility 
Seriously though, as far as my martial arts and stuff, I've not had good luck with doctors. Because I live by "That which doesn't kill me will make me stronger" and they're always like "Stop streatching you're going to hurt yourself...don't condition you knuckles like that...stay away from full contact sparring..."
