I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it's going to work or whether I'm going to fall flat on my face.
I have to be stretched in some way. There's not enough things that come my way that I fancy.
I do some weights and I do a lot of stretching.
A physical therapist does some unbelievable stretching with me.
