they are for me, when i was in the thirty range I broke my perfect push-up thingies I had owned for about 10 years. i started doing the burpies without anything and my wrists were suffering. it's also a little bit of a cheat for my tight hamstrings. kinda like a yoga block.

Hmmm. I have tight hamstrings too. I use those wide rubber bands that are hella unforgiving. Still can’t grab my toes. I can touch them, only just. My goal is grasp instep, and touch nose to knees, LOL. One can dream…

same, my youngest is extremely flexible and it is aggravating! it is amazing how much my hamstrings loosen up over a 100 burpie session. ive always read/heard that part of our inflexibility is your brain trying to stop you from injury, and the more you relax into a position the more your brain believes that you won't get hurt. only time will tell!

Mind over matter is a thing. I know I can, it’s just deciding how much pain I want to push past 🤣

I won’t let that lactic acid win used to be my mantra 😉😊🤘

Used to? Before traction, LOL, just kidding.

Genuinely, and with no double entendre, partner assisted stretching can help flexibility a lot. 😊
