Can You Achieve the ‘Active Leg Straight Raise’? It’s Not As Easy As It Looks

This is me celebrating my latest achievement at Fit Body Transformations in Brentwood. The yellow band that I'm stretching in victory signifies years of stretching my hamstrings trying to attain this lofty goal. 

I've been trying to get my right 'malleolus' to reach past the 'mid line' of my right thigh since October of 2014. Yesterday, this seemingly impossible task was conquered.

Thanks to my fitness coach Sarah at FBT, (Happy Birthday Sarah!)as she introduced me to a leg lowering strap stretch that has been an invaluable method in attaining this flexibility goal.

Here's Jimmy and Sam at FBT displaying this magical stretch that has helped make me a warrior of functional movement. Thanks Fit Body Transformations!
