tvbabe, why don't you give pilates a try. You can find videos or cd's at most librarys and grocery stores. Pilates are all stretching excercizes but don't let that fool you....they give you a work out. I thaught how hard could it be and was sweating up a storm by the time it was done. It deals with stretching different parts of your body in certain order. I really enjoyed it. Maybe that will help.
