All my adult life I’ve had a mesomorph body type – more rugby player than mountain biker – and I’ve never been very flexible, although I can move fallen trees out of the way on the trails

As I get older I find it increasingly difficult to maintain what flexibility I have via simple stretches etc and I’m looking for something different, something more specialised – yoga pilates I don’t know – that could work for me.

Any suggestions are welcome cheers

Put the biscuits in the bottom drawer.

Rock climbing?

Search Amazon for the Richard Hitteman (sp?) 28 Day Yoga Plan – been around since the 1970’s and a gentle, progressive course of yoga exercises with idiot-proof instructions. If you can find an original hardback then they’re better than the later, smaller paperback format.

Takes between 15 and 30 minutes a day. Works a treat.
