What I " see " here with many is, because of the creaping up of years, and a weight gain, restriction in the back, restriction along the outer and inner thighs, and, of course the knees themselves. (Donna Eden) This is also due to loss of collagen in the cells themselves. The collagen can be revitalized by taking about 2,000 mgs of vit C, three times a day with a meal. (Dr. Linus Pauling) Deeply massaging the outer sides of the thighs (large intestine lymphatics), and deeply massaging the inner thighs (small intestine lymphatics) will help with the flexibility. Having a spinal flush done daily, with much imphasis on the tailbone and the Circulation Sex points in the buttock, will also help. (DE) Also massaging under the rib cage from the floating ribs to the stern will regive you much of that flexibility, almost at once. (DE) The best thing I've used for people getting into their 50's, and 60's, is that Chuck Norris Inclined board. (Bill Pearl) Why? Because the use of that board does totally support the small of the back, so you can easily use it as a " hack " machine for building up the strength in the knees. That means that you sit on it...put your feet on the base board, and push yourself up until your knees are straight...then you slowly lower yourself back down. Again, the great thing about this CN slant board is, there is NO pressure on the spine, or the small of the back, like there is in attempting deep knee bends to a stool, or a chair. We bought our CN slant board on E-bay for peanuts. I've clients with tremendous knee damage that could not even do one deep knee bend when they started doing the drills, that are now running up and down hills, and have strength and flexibility back...along with a bunch of " other " benefits. My 21 year old " boy " who is weight training is the one that convinced me to try it out... A simple process to... 1. revitalize the collagen 2. massage those specific lymphatics 3. regain the flexibility 4. strengthen that specific body part ....and, after that is accomplished, THEN we start the REAL training!
