During Brad’s recent conversation with Tim Ferris, he mentioned that in his younger years as a soccer player he found himself to be “athletic, but inflexible” (to paraphrase). He said he instituted a regimen in his downtime (such as watching TV) where he “sat on the floor” and used a “lacrosse ball” to do daily stretching exercises. He now considers himself as probably in the “top 5 percentile” of flexibility for his age.
I find myself in a very similar predicament, wherein I am highly active and relatively athletic, but have extremely limited flexibility. I can barely touch my toes or cross my left leg over the right.
Is anyone familiar with the routine that Brad used? Is this something that he’s mentioned before? Is this something taken from Tim Ferris’s “4 Hour Body”?
I would love to give it a try.
