Builds resilience into tissue and our mental state
Finding the limits to the stretch
And holding the stretch there for a while
Allowing the tissue or our mind to adjust to the challenge
Just to the limit, not past
Exceeding the limit of mobility tears tissue
Just as pushing mental capacity too far destroys the will to continue
Stretching ourselves
Just enough to see a new range
Of motion or intellect
Our body adapts to the new ability
It registers and makes use
Of the wider range
