2015 Fitness Goal - Touching My Toes Update 27 Months

I did it. 2015 Fitness Goal is crossed off the list.



For those of you that were following closely I was practically touching my toes in my 2016 year in review post.  Its hard to believe I've been at this for over 2 years now but my drive to improve mobility and movement function has not waned at all.  There is still such a tremendous upside to improving my mobility and movement and I guess it is going to take a while to undo all the damage from years of constant sitting.  In my previous update I mentioned that progress had stalled and I was pulling out the big guns and employing professional help in the form of the Gymnastic Bodies program front split stretching series .  I've been dutifully doing the 45 min once a week workout for just over 6 months now.  I also ended up starting the other two stretch series (middle split and thoracic bridge) as well just to round out the whole package.  If you think my front split mobility is terrible you should see my thoracic bridge.  So the good news is I've started to move the needle again but boy if I wasn't measuring everything and taking pictures I might question if I have had made any progress at all.  It took me a whole year to go that last 2 inches.

This is not the end for me, I'll continue to follow the Gymnastic Bodies program, track my progress and see where it takes me.
