Day 1: 1.5 hours + Starting Lower Body Flexibility

Yesterday was my first day committed to stretching. Ive committed to stretching 2-3 hours per day with 1 day off in the week. Yesterday, I did 1.5 hours of stretching.

Once, I got to college, I decided I wanted to try something different, and a few years later I was buying an x-pole and trying to teach myself how to invert …
