Ever since I fractured my knee those many years ago (4 and a half), I have had a hard time stretching it. I've had a hard time grabbing my foot from behind, as shown in the pic below. As I have gotten into running and working out within those last 4 and a half years, though, I have learned how important stretching can be. It prevents injury and it makes you feel more flexible the more you do it. Compared to what I could do a couple of years ago, I think my knee bends a little bit better, but I'm obviously probably never going to be as flexible as I'd like to be. I wish I had a pic of what I could do before (pretty much nothing), but I guess this will have to be good enough for the journal! Oh, and I threw in a pic of my workout buddy and I just for fun, and because I love him so much! :)
Please don't make fun of how ridiculous I look. I was just trying to model my explanation of the stretch! haha
