Can you touch your toes?

[thetruecoolness]

Just curious as to how many people are able to pull that off. I know I wasn't able to very easily about a month ago, but I've been stretching and exercising every other day for the past month and can now touch the floor standing and hold a stretch with it.

So do any of you have any other flexible things you can do (ie putting your feet behind your head, splits, etc. Free forum safe of course)?

Stretching seems to be one of those things a lot of people who exercise forget about.

Yeah, but it took me a bit.

No, because, you see, I have this thing called a gut, and it gets in the way a bit.

I can't touch my toes. I used to be able to when I was a kid but I was also a lot shorter then. I do have one flexible ability but it's not free forum safe.

My legs are too long.

Mine are like 3 feet long as I'm 6'3", so I'm not so sure that's a valid excuse, of course my arms are also about 2'6" or so. I'm pretty lanky.

So what's the real reason? Hmm. Being out of shape is a perfectly acceptable answer. I still am a bit since I just started working out a month ago.

I wonder if flexibility is somewhat hereditary cause a couple of people have told me they can't touch their toes even after stretching for a while. I know I'll likely never be able to do a split, closest I can come to that is about a foot and a half off the floor. Also can't do that thing Owl did.

You know what they say about girls who are flexible...







...You can put them in an armlock and they'll twist out of it and throw you down. Heh, heh, heh...

My hugs aren't that bad either.
