Ball?

 

 

Or under arm, depends which has been sweating more I suppose.

Why do you need to keep fit ?... it would appear there are loads of expensive fancy gadgets and techniques that make climbing effortless these days !!... or so I am lead to believe ...... ( a bit of lighthearted sarcasm included ! )

I'm a runner. Been an ultra-runner for 10+ years. Its fantastic for overall conditioning, but does nothing for flexibility. And I aint the most flexible monkey in the tree anyways!

Has anyone got a list of stretches that are good to do daily?

[kcstevens]

stretching is the most important thing, unfortunately its about the most boring thing to do as well. If I keep up with my stretches for a good 20+ minutes a night I have very few problems. Like always though as soon as i'm back feeling good again I let the stretches lapse.

 

Literally all of the above . Same opinion and also the same lack of commitment when I'm sweet as a nut

[kcstevens]

Oh, and if anyone suffers with lower back niggles, really stretch your hamstrings and glutes out . Most back problems come from those muscles being too tight which then throws your back out, not actually the back muscles fault just them over compensating

Just make sure you sit on a step when you tie up your bootlaces in the morning.
