I have been working hard to improve my fitness levels. One obstacle that I face is that my flexibility levels are not where I would like them. Many people do not realize the importance of stretching and flexibility.
My legs are the strongest part of my body. I have always been quite proud of them. However, as I was trying to do a leg curl the other day, I had to lower the weights drastically because my hamstrings were very tight. To demonstrate my point, I leg pressed 250 lbs, but was only able to leg curl 30- 40 lbs. It was my lack of flexibility not my lack of strength that prevented me from increasing the weights.
Bottom line, if I want to workout my hamstrings, I have to stretch them out and increase my flexibility.
