A new video

Just posted this one today, you might find some info you were looking for. Also, for those new to the blog, there is a LOT of info in the archives, and on my youtube page.

A cold weather tip

Just an idea for those of you stretching in colder climates: take a little more time to stretch. When it is cold out, there is less blood supply to the smaller areas of the muscles (specifically, where the muscle attaches to the bone at its origin, and where it attaches at its endpoint, the insertion.) Go a little slower, take a little more time, be patient. If you don't have more time, do fewer stretches for longer periods.

One of the silly things I did when I was about 16, was to train in karate in the snow. Barefoot. Just wearing my uniform. I wanted to be like those Buddhist Monk Martial Arts Masters you see in the movies. I pulled a few muscles, and that was that!

some new info

Hi! Been busy with the stretch videos over on youtube, so if you have not seen the new ones, go take a look. I have also given my website a makeover, with a lot of new content. I have upgraded my computer with a second hard drive, which means more space to do more videos and web based teaching. I didn't realize that the blog was still getting a lot of traffic, so I will stop by and update from time to time.
In the meantime, my latest:

New Directions

Greetings,

I am not sure if I am going to continue with posting to this blog. More of my work is going to video, and instead of just posting the info here, it would be great if subscribers/readers of my blog just go to my youtube page and save that page in their favorite places. I have been updating with new videos every two days, more or less, it is easier for me to keep current on youtube due to time constraints (I have a day job!!)

You can visit the howtostretch youtube page here youtube, be sure to save it and check it a few times a week. There will be a LARGE catalog of videos available. The blog will stay online as an archive. Thanks for reading! (UPDATED 10/25/09, see above post!)

TMJ video

I know, its been too long. More to come, you may want to subscribe to my youtube page (howtostretch), I plan to do several a week to keep everyone updated.

Two new videos for you!

I am currently working on an entire catalog of videos for stretching, injury prevention and recovery. You can search youtube for howtostretch, see the videos here on my blog, or go to my website and visit the archive.
