It's always a good idea to bend your knees and really warm up to it, also, taking some deep breaths and going into your leg extentions are key - that helps the body to not wig out, otherwise if you aren't breathing the body thinks it's dying and the whole thing locks up - take it slow, it took me a month of doing this everyday before I could get to the ground and there are days when I am still stiff - keep at it!

I ran yesterday and walked 3 miles about an hour ago. My flexibility has already improved; I can touch my toes with my legs straight, but still can't bring my upper body into my legs. I will keep exercising and thanks for the tips.

I tried to do uttanasana the other day, but I really felt the stretch on the back of my knees. Then again I haven't been exercising much this winter. I think I'll go for a run tomorrow.
