Yep, that stuff they spray on cotton is defoliant! Meant to kill everything.

How old were the kids then? There is a definite reduction in colds and such once they get to K or 1st grade. I think part of it is they stop putting everything into their mouths.

...Back to the topic: I've been troubled by hamstring pulls lately. Recently added a couple of strengthening exercises using one of those big exercise balls:

Prone Reach on Ball (Stomach/quads on ball, knees bent, feet against wall, tuck ball into thighs. Chin down. Glutes tight. Should feel in hamstrings. Reach out with one hand, the other near ear. Return hand to ear and reach out with other hand.)

and Hamstring Bridge

Does anyone have any favorite exercises for hamstring strength?
