If you can bend over to tie your shoe lace, play some sport any activity without pain, you're ok.
Aren't you exercising?

PNF stretching if you have a partner (your wife) who has a little bit of knowledge on what they are doing should do wonders. Have a quick read on google but it is basically stretching the muscle then applying light resistance as it shortens.
You can see instant results if you have a sit'n'reach box - simply measure your first reading, complete 2 or 3 pnf stretches, then remeasure your sit'n'reach and you should instantly see some difference. Over a period of 3 weeks to a month the results should speak for themselves.
Dynamic stretching is IMO one of the most profitable forms of flexibility and mobility training. Where's the stiffnes? In your flutes and a

For most people, plain old resistance training over nice long ranges of motion gives them plenty of flexibility for day-to-day life. You might need more for some sport, I don't know, you tell us.
Stretching after a workout helps recovery so should be done by everyone anyway
I don't need to improve flexibility for sport, as I'm not playing any. My coach wants me more flexible to improve my lifting. He reckons my deadlift and squat are affected by poor flexibility and back strength. He has got me doing inverted rows for my back.
Correct Dave!!! how could I overlook such a major joint....the hip joint!!
