Disadvantages of having leg stretching surgery.?

Posted by admin on July 14, 2010

Also is it a sin and can you say how tall you want to be?

It’s not a sin, and no, you cannot magically grow to 6′2 if you started out with only 4′10". Average gain is 3 inches.

Disadvantages:
-8 surgical breaks in your leg.
-Months spent in a frame screwed into your leg
-Constant risk of infection due to the screws
-Excruciating pain, as the device slowly cranks the broken bones apart, so new bone can fill in between.
-Cost at around 100,000k, you will not be able to get insurance to pay for this elective procedure.

Good flexibility stretches?

Posted by admin on July 4, 2010

I’m reasonably flexible but I want to be very flexible; I have a few basic stretches but I’d appreciate it if anyone could give me some other effective ones. xx

Do this daily:
touch ceiling touch toes x6 (this is just to regulate your breathing)
put one leg on a couch the other planted on the floor facing straight, bend both knees slightly, go down as far as you can and count to 30 do this 3x a day
quad stretches
butterfly
sit with legs straight in front of you 2x a day and every week go a little further.
HOPE I HELPED!
