Can you touch your toes? TTH Flexibility Thread

[Magic]

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

[Lewis]

Then you're pretty much disabled.

[Disco]

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

[Spammer]

Aye I can do it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yes.

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

[Disco]

You'll be getting ribs removed next.

[Mike]

Just about, yeah.

[Danny]

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

[Raoul Duke]

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) :cool:

[Henry]

Nearly, I'm about an inch off.

[CJay]

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

[Cord]

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".

[Magic]

Thank fuck RL.

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

[-james-]

Can only get to my ankles. Can get my left leg behind my head though. :cool:

[Giggles]

Not for years and I never will again.

[randomlegend]

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

[Reg]

Yes. Do some yoga you failures.

[Giggles]

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

[randomlegend]

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

[Lewis]

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

[randomlegend]

/I'd get my feet wet/I'd have a migraine halfway down.

[Yevrah]

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

[Toby]

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.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

We must have the same hamstrings.

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

[Manc]

Can only get to my ankles. Can get my left leg behind my head though. :cool:

What's your number, babes?

[Pepe]

Just tried. Couldn't do it.
