Flexibility Goals and staying on task
So this year I am moving up to fitness. So my goals have been flexibility related more so than bodybuilding this year.
I can maintain my current muscle and strength but flexibility is a monster for me. I used to be a gymnast. Flips and cartwheels and things, but now I am struggling with just doing a split. That's been my goal to be flexible enough to go into a full side split by end of the month. I am about 6 inches, 4 on a good day, from my goal.
The problem? I keep just not doing my stretches. It's a bad habit I got from lifting. I don't like to stretch after workouts and it's robbed me of my flexibility. It's best for me to practice flexibility when I am warm from working out. Helps two fold, stretch me post work out and work on getting further into the split, but lately, I am just tired and want to go home. So instead of do it at the gym, I say I will do it when I get home and don't. So now I don't think I will make my goal by the end of the month. I will focus on it though, cause I am goal oriented and really like hitting them when I set them. I mean I got 8 days. It's four inches. I can do it. 4 inches!
