    Ziggy, if you can barely touch your toes I don't think you should advertise it. :? :shock:








    :D
    btw, I'm quite bendy-flexible. ;)

    Why not? What's wrong with being able to barely touch your toes? Most people can't. I'm not embarrassed! :?

    Had to get up and give it a go.....

    Can put my hands flat on the floor.

    Maybe I'm just slack.

    Yeah no shit....hence why I'm exercising to GET flexible. Some people are fit as a fiddle and still can't touch their toes though.

    It's a nice feeling to touch your toes. I do yoga every day and when standing, I can actually bend at the waist put my flatten hands under the soles of my feet and basically stand on them. Not trying to be a show off, but it does feel good, doesn't it?

    You tell her!

    Honestly, I had no idea until this morning that most people couldn't touch their toes! I've always been able to do this. :? Like you justam' I can also put my hands flat on the floor or under my feet.

    This is so bizarre to me that people can't reach the ground! :lol:

    after reading this thread I just had to check. whaddya know! I can still touch my toes. :mrgreen: I was sure I couldn't do it. don't know why.. it has been a while since I last did yoga and I haven't been stretching very much recently. I should though..

    anyway, congrats Zigster. :D

    Yeah, I can touch my toes with straight legs.

    How long can you hold it?

    I just checked.....not very fucking long at all!!! Maybe a few seconds....tops! haha :lol: Probably be a bit better if I had stretched first etc. I've been sitting working at a computer for about 6 hours straight.

    I've never really been able to touch my toes. I've always been naturally athletic. I've been working out almost every day since high school, but I've never been really flexable.

    In 7 weeks since I've started exercising and stretching, I've gone from being a good 2-3 inches from touching to being able to touch! I really wanted to get flexible....and it's working! haha I'm pretty happy right now! :D

    Can you touch your toes?
    sitting down, yes...standing up, I'm about an inch away. damn.
    I have fused vertebrae, so that's my excuse.

    The real question is....can you touch your elbows behind your back? :P
