Can you touch your toes?

[imabrat]

I was talking with Kylie about being short and realized something - I can't touch my toes.

I've never been able to actually. I can stretch and stretch and stretch, and still not reach my toes. I have pretty long legs for a short girl, but my arms aren't long at all. If I sit and try to reach my toes with my hips and shoulders properly squared, my arms come up about 6 inches shorter than my legs.

yess.
and the floor

 

[bananda]

i could. then i quit dancing and haven't stretched for about 3 years. i also cant do the splits anymore. i should start stretching again.

 

[KidGoofy]

yes...but only on good days. Which is actually terrible since Im and athlete I should be extremely flexible

 

[K-Shong99]

yeah.
i'm short, but for my size i have pretty long legs and arms.

 

[PurpleDucky]

no lol. my legs are too long and i've never been flexible. i took gymnastics for four years >_<

 

[disneydance]

Yes but I'm a dancer so that would explain it lol

 

[TinkerTracy]

yess.
and the floor

Same!

 

[That_Australian_Kid]

lol, im a dancer and have never ever been able too.

11 years of dance has lead me to stumpy arms. lame excuse.

 

[Babyjustrun]

I'm short, and not flexible. I think I have short arms.
I can't touch my toes when I'm standing, or when I've got my legs out straight.

 

[Axel]

Yes. I can get my elbows to about three inches off the ground, too. I've always been very flexible, which has lead to some problems- I'm too loose in places!

my sister is like that. the physio said she isn't allowed to stretch before ballet anymore. and she has hyper-mobile shoulders

 

[wilmabride'sdaughter]

I can touch my toes...when im sat down . I can kinda touch them when im stood up, but it hurts ALOT! xD.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Yep, and the floor.
Without strain.
I love being flexible.

 

[Disney Dork]

I usually can!

But I can't right now, because I pulled that muscle that's like, RIGHT above your knee on the back of your legs and it hurts.

 

[DollfieDreams]

no >_< never have been able to.
but i can kick extremely high. wth.

 

[acesupercoolme]

Yes.
After many years of yoga and gymnastics I have become pretty flexible.

 

[ilovepoohbear]

I'm not flexible but I have loose hamstrings and therefore I can bend down and touch my toes and place my palms flat on the floor. Everyone thinks I'm weird XD

 

[Emzie]

Oui.
I can.

 

[Cinderelli16]

Yep I can
Actually, I can put my palms flat on the ground. hahah
