Showerthought: Stretching every morning changed my work life.

I never stretched before starting my day. Then I tweaked my back hoisting a long beam. The ache lasted for weeks. My doctor said to try simple hamstring stretches. I did them for five minutes each morning. Now my back feels solid all day. My focus on cuts and measurements improved too.

Hoisting a long beam sounds like the universe's weirdest way to sell you on yoga. Guess I'll start stretching before I attempt any major lumber lifts.

Talk about discovering new muscles you never knew existed.

Yoga's great, but sometimes you just need to lift the thing. Proper form beats stretching every time.
