You should do stretching exercises, but I question whether you should do it before other activity. Sometimes a scientist will show that stretching is good, but he doesn’t test other exercise orders.

Remember to be flexible in your choice of workouts.

Roger, methinks thou art doomed.

Jason, hit Dad in the family jewels! That will get him to bend over!

It’s not working out for Roger.

put his morning coffee on the floor and tell him he can’t bend his knees to get it.

He’s in the fitness protection program.

It’s one thing not to be able to touch your toes, it’s quite another when the best attempt to do so looks like standing up straight with your arms at your sides twitching slightly.

When I was 37 and a half years old, I decided to take my health seriously. I stopped smoking, started eating properly and started an exercise program. I did this slowly.

I decided that if it took me 37.5 years to get out of shape, I’d spend 37.5 years getting back into shape, reaching my physical peak at age 75.

We Ents aren’t very bendy.

This won’t end well.

When my great-grandmother was in 60s (having given birth 10 times), she could stand on one stair and, straight-legged, lay her hands flat on the stair below it.

No, I did not inherit her flexibilty……

Hah! I can’t touch my knees without bending them.

He looks like he’s shaking. Marathon jitters?
