New blog post: Gymnastics, Flexibility and Emptying Your Cup

We are sending to you this information because you have subscribed
to Stadion Publishing Company's e-mail list.

There is a new post in my blog at http://www.tomkurz.com. Here is
a question that I answer in my new post:

> I've recently begun using your program to increase my flexibility.
> I used to be a gymnast, and I could actually do all the splits.
> However, now when I do the side split, the limiting factor is not
> in my hips, it is in my knees. Whenever I do a side split or the
> isometric side split stretch with one leg raised, I get sharp
> pains in my knees. The pain is concentrated in the ligaments
> running along the inside of the knee, and it is only there when I
> relax into the stretch. When I tense the muscles running along the
> inside of my legs, the pain goes away. Is this normal?
> What should I do to fix this?
