Can you touch your toes?

[Scarpozzi]

I'm 6'4". It's always been a challenge.

 

[cKGunslinger]

Nope - I can just barely get past my knees. My hamstrings have always been very inflexible.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Yes, thanks to cycling. I am definitely more flexible now than I was a few years ago.

 

[SpunkyJones]

I seem to recall being able to do that back in the early 90's.

 

[Krazy4Real]

I can do it.

 

[DefDC]

Never was able to do this. I was also doing TaeKwonDo and was able to put both legs over my head.

Sorry. That's a digusting mental image of a GUY doing this...

That's odd. Biking is second only to running for the most inflexible athletes you'll find. It's a repetitive mechanic that has very little range of motion. AKA: does little for flexibility.

As for my answer: not even close. I'm strung very toit...toit like a tigah!

Hurts like hell, but I can pull it off and hold it for a few seconds. Now that my workout routine's restarted (delayed by Christmas) , should be easier in a few weeks.

Just finish running and in my pre-stretch I can put my palm to the ground.

 

[bob4432]

i can't but my wife can (yoga) - isn't that all that matters??? for me years of neurological issues and spinal surgery have taken a toll - sadly i am in the worst shape of my life even though i try to do stuff to rectify it, even though i don't give up, sometimes mother nature has her own way for you....i would be the f*cked up water buffalo getting picked off by the lions for their dinner

Any activity that requires pre-stretching will make you more flexible eventually. Just do it everyday. :roll:

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Yes. I can make a fist and put my knuckles to the ground with no problem. I might need to stretch a bit to get my palms to the deck.

* furiously clicks profiles looking for female members *

LOL... along the same lines, I can put my whole fist in my mouth.

 

[jmcoreymv]

I've been doing yoga for a few months now and I can put my entire hand underneath my foot. I'm not sure how that will help me in life though.

 

[RESmonkey]

On some days I need to get a little warmed up. But after some ballistic stretchig, it's easy. I can even palm the ground almost after deadlifting.

 

[elmer92413]

Sadly no, but that's something I plan on changing this year.

Pics to prove it.

 

[Bateluer]

Yes, but not cold. I have to run a few miles to loosen up the muscles and tendons first.

Welcome to AT, we can always use another smoking hawt former cheerleader

I can still touch my toes, had to check but it's still a go...

 

[mindmaniac]

I can within 5 inches. When I used to do pilates I was able to with no problem but after I quit the flexibility went quickly.

 

[oiprocs]

Yeah sure, after a few weeks of daily stretching, anyone will be able to do it.

 

[AmpedSilence]

for a second there i thought it said "Can I touch your toes?" :shocked:

 

[Apathetic]

Not since my car wreck. Working on it though.
