How can I improve my flexability?



I keep fit by doing regular exercise such as swimming, walking and riding my bike. I am very keen on trying yoga and gymnastics, but I am not very flexable. Touching my toes hurt my back lol and I can't do the splits and I pull muscles easily. I have a very bad posture too. I need to start off easy and gentle. Any ideas? ta.

Like try fingering from behind sumat like that.
yoga and pilates are the best at increasing flexibility.
yoga takes time - instead of going all the way down to your toes you should feel a gentle stretch - dont stretch till it hurts :)
I would start by going to a chiropractor. If your spine is out of whack, it is hard to be flexible. Once you start a routine pattern with a chiropractor, it will help relax your spine and the muscles surrounding it. Then you can work your way through yoga. Start with at home DVD workouts so you can work your way up to it at your own pace.
Oh my gosh. That's exactly my problem. I'm interested in joining gymnastics, but all i can do is touch my toes. So i stretch everyday, it make smy muscles feel better and i must say, i am getting more flexible! :D Hope this helps you, Goodluck!
I just stretch everyday. It look a few months but now I can reach my toes. Just take a day at a time. Good luck!
dont ever attempt to do the splits or touch your toes. only trained athletes or dancers can do that easily as they have trained for many years. yoga is good. take it easy. it will be better in the long run. if you pull a muscle or hurt your back you wont be able to follow any exercise plan for a while. good luck
streaching and pilaties help! =) it helped me
