Hi Dr Steve,I was able to pull both legs up to my chest with no difficulty but after lriwoeng my left leg and keeping the bent one close to chest, the lowered leg, in the thigh area, did not touch the table (4-5" from tabletop) and the lower leg from knee down was bent and angled outward from what I could tell. Repeated on right leg with similar difficulty. Left side was worse. I do feel I have lots of tightening in my IT band and pain in my lower back. I usually stretch after my long walks by doing the "pigeon pose" from yoga and use the roller on the IT band. I did the tests by myself with no mirror. I used to sit alot at my job until I retired early at age 55. I have been training for half marathons for 2 years now. I have had trouble with my hip flexers for years. The hiking has helped alot when done regularly. But, all the years of sitting at the computer was harmful I believe. Two years ago I began Weight Watchers and have lost 30 pounds which helped me in so many ways, especially my flexibility. I hope to integrate your program into my daily routine so I can achieve better flexiblity and live pain free.
