    Can you touch your toes? TTH Flexibility Thread

    I can barely get past my kneecaps. In fact to be exact I can touch the bottom of my kneecaps, no further.

    Easy. I can even do it without bending my knees.

    Yes.

    I can also put my foot in my mouth which might be the best shittest party trick ever.

    Yes but it does remind me I need to stretch more.

    No, I'm about three inches short of being able to reach. My hamstrings are pretty short/tight.

    I can get into full lotus position though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_position (and subsequently lift myself off the floor with my hands whilst doing it)

    I can almost put my hands flat on the ground, with my feet shoulder-width apart.

    I can. I can go further and get my hands pretty much half way under my feet.

    A useful skill indeed.

    Not even close. I saw a sports physio recently about my fucked up calves and he said I was one of the least flexible people he's ever come across. Told me to take up rugby as "It'd be impossible for you to get injured, nothing moves".

    Thank fuck RL.

    I think mine is a result of my anterior pelvic tilt, it's fucking everything up.

    He seemed genuinely quite amazed.

    He probably posted on his physio lads forum about the freak he'd just seen as soon as I left

    If touching my toes was vitally important then yoga would be my last means of doing it.

    I'd get a bit more bendy but I'm basically just built that way.

    You probably could touch your toes, but you just know you wouldn't have the energy to get back upright.

    I've never been able to do this or even get that close without bending my knees.

    I can't imagine the day I'm not able to do this. It's surprised me so much that there are several here who can't that I almost feel I'm missing something.

    We must have the same hamstrings.

    I try not to think what I'll be like in 30 years.
