cats2win, look up Dick Hartzell. He has a bunch of information on stretching with bands, as well as exercising with them.
Will do...I really am not interested in surgery. No weakness in my knee...just pain when I put my foot at a weird angle like stepping on a stick when walking. Hopefully strengthening of muscles will fix the problem. Desk work seems to be taking a toll on me.
you're the guy that always asks for advice and then is a prick to people giving you advice, right?
oh well, live and learn
No, I was actually soliciting serious responses and thanks to few other posters I received them. I only see one person being a prick here.
Based on your condition, yoga would probably be better for you than anything else mentioned. It's low impact, and a well designed workout would gradually warm you up before going into any deep stretches, would stretch the hamstring and surrounding muscles in several different ways, both in terms of how active the stretch is and which muscles are stretched, and would have counter-stretches to strengthen the hamstring at the same time.
On top of that, you would probably be more relaxed at the office.
Of course, it's not exactly "manly", so you'd probably be better off just waking up, doing some deadlifts (as heavy as possible), slamming a glass of raw eggs, and heading to the office.
