Flexibility exercises

hrcbob

Hi folks.. I suffer from a lack of flexibility in my back and legs and was wondering what the best exercises and/or streches would be to fix this..

thanks in advance.. Bob..

are you doing any other exercise at all?
if not the basic stretches is a good start

I do a hell of a lot of walkin and try to get to the gym twice a week.. Im not hugely into weights so spend the majority of the time on threadmill, bike, cross trainer and rower.

Ryan Giggs puts his flexibility and ageless performance down to Yoga. I think he's actually done a DVD as well...

Just wondering if anyone knows where online I could get the medium stretch bands that are needed to do the Mobility wods? Either somewhere that delivers to Ireland or a shop I can pick them up in Dublin city centre?

Also, how much should I be looking to pay for them?

sportinglegend

Pullam Sports in the UK do them and they will deliver to Ireland.

Does anyone know if fighting fit sell stretch bands? If so how much?
