Can you touch your toes?

Yepp [:
i've been dancing 11 years.
today in gym we did the sit & reach and I got a 47, which is the highest in my class...and is very good.
i can do a full split and put my head to my leg.
 
Back when I was in gymnastics I was so flexible, that during my right, and middle splits, my coach would put one of my feet on a block (for you girls that have/are in gymnastics will know what I'm talking about) and my body would still easily go all the way down without any pain at all. It use to disgust everyone.

Also, when we would do our seated straddle stretches my coach would pull my legs out so that my legs were pretty much stretched all the way out to the sides.

I could bend in all sorts of ways. If I tried doing it now, I'd probably hurt myself very badly. lol
 
I cannot. Never could, really.

Well, I can't even bend over a little after this damn surgury! Seriously, trying to bend down to reach even a pencil is murder. I have to either actually get on the floor or squat.
 
I've never been terribly flexible. Yeah, I could lay down next to my leg when stretched, but that was it.

Just now I've been able to do the Tornadoe drill. You know, you sit facing a wall with your knees bent and your head between your knees.
All throughout elementary, middle, and junior high I was never able to do it.

i did ballet with a girl like that. she has always made everyone jealous coz she never pays attention but she does so well in her exams and competitions. she is one of the best young dancers i've seen
 
I can reach all the way to the floor, put my hands down flat, and still be able to bend my arms. But I'm also a really flexible competitive dancer, so that would explain a lot. I also can touch my chest to the floor during middle split, but I can also touch my chest to my front leg durung right and left, it's a little painful, lol. :)

It was killing me to touch my toes but I can! I haven't worked out in a few months so I think that explains alot!
