Being flexible is something that's important to almost every athlete. It's also something that's important for anyone young or old that wants to have their body in good shape. That being said, I am the most inflexible person I know.
Sauna! My coach has been telling me forever to go to the sauna and stretch. He says it loosens up the muscles and allows you to get more flexible. He was right...after a few minutes in the sauna, I was bending over backwards. The sauna here at Boise State is ridiculously hot -200 degrees plus. I was burning up. But, after about ten minutes of stretching, and 10 pounds of sweat lost, I felt at least a little more flexible.
