New Year's Resolutions

[Zach]

Hello,
I would like a to know of peoples stretch related resolutions... here I will start..
In 2008 I would like to be able to do a free form back bend (I can do it but I want to be able to go down and come up on command, no problem... now I can come up, and I want it to be tighter), as well as splits and a chest stand.

for those of you who would like to share your resolution dreams, as well as an area for support feel free to post your thoughts here. I will check back daily, just to see who is actually determined to get better (I mean like willing to do anything) and to gather some tips....
Thanks for your support, and Happy Resolution hunting... Happy New Year, and GOOD LUCK!!!

this year, i want to work on my back flexibility, and have perfect technique on my splits. i also want a better front leg extension and killer abs. =P

i noticed that a couple of people want to get middlesplits. lie flat on the ground with your butt up against a wall, and stretch your legs out in straddle (back of legs should be against the wall). relax your muscles, and stay there for 3 or 4 songs (or however long you can stand it). your legs will sink towards the floor on their own. then pull your legs up without using your hands or bending your knees...(it's hard!) now try your middlesplits. you should be lower.

Thanks. I have heard quite a bit about that stretch, so far it comes highly recommended. I have done it a few times in the past, and gravity doesn't seem to be helping me much. Or gravity is just a bit reluctant, lol... But the progress has been significant. And i can't expect the improvement to happen quickly or rappidly. So its probably going to be awhile before i can say with confidence that i have achieved that elusive middlesplit...
