How old are you and can you touch your toes?

[ParisinFrance]

58

No!

never been able too. Wrong shape. It’s good for me to try, though, I have to stretch those bits as much as possible

53 short and hypermobile so yes I can.

46 and yes I can as long as I’m warmed up.

57 never been able to

@BobbyBiscuits that's awful. So sorry to hear that.

Yes, but my hamstrings can certainly feel it. Mid 50s and 5’11 so my toes are a long way away!

44 and yes. My Rainbows made me show them at the end of term party. I was quite shocked by the amount of 5-7 year olds we have that can’t!

48 and can only reach my ankles - very bad back though

60 and overweight. Yes I can hoorah!!

44, obese, but yes.. Although it hurts the backs of my legs.

58 and I can too. Yoga and pilates is your friend

Same! But seems I have v long gibbon arms.

54. Overweight

Yes

And can touch the floor, but not with flat hands

Of course it isn’t indicative of fitness, why would it be?

it requires no muscular strength or cardiovascular endurance. It’s simply whether your hamstrings stretch that far.

running tightens muscles so runners aren’t flexible. Flexibility is actually bad for runners as it makes joints less stable and more prone to injury. Stretching should be done to loosen and stop further tightening, but not to increase range of movement.

72 and yes I can. Shortie here so not because of great fitness 😃

62 and when warmed up during my dance class, yes.

First thing in the morning and straight out of bed - not a chance!

69 and can put my hands flat on the ground.

50 and I cant even see the fuckers.

50, yes.

59 and hands flat on the floor

Yoga

62; yes.

70 and can lay my hands flat on the floor.
Never been able to sit cross legged in Yoga though.

60 and I can't. My mum is 86 and she can.

36. Hands flat on the floor. I'm also hypermobile.

@alrightluv ah, thank you. That's kind. I'm actually very grateful for the hip surgery. It's not perfect but better than not having a broken hip fixed, lol. I just need to try and do more physio. But gawd I'm lazy?!
