I can't touch my toes!

[Keego]

I have long legs, and I can't touch my toes. Whenever I try, the tendons all along the back of my leg get pretty tight, if I keep stretching these (hamstrings?) will I eventually be able to touch my toes?

 

[Kenazo]

just lift your toes to your hands, it's much easier.

 

[thebestMAX]

Can you see them?

Doesnt that hurt?

 

[Keego]

it doesn't really hurt unless I try reallllly hard. Yes, I can see my toes

 

[Daniel]

umm yes, if you keep stretching you will get more flexible, novel idea huh?

 

[yakko]

Don't worry about it. I can't touch your toes wither.

 

[BigSmooth]

Some people are just more inflexible than others. Even when I was in high school and in good shape, I could not touch my toes. It ain't gettin' easier the older I get, either, although I still stretch and exercise.

Why would you want to touch your toes?

Personally, I can't lick my elbow, but I don't worry about it too much.

 

[SpecialEd]

what everyone else said... if you stretch often (everyday)... you'll eventually be able to touch your toes. this is not something that can be done with only one weeks worth a stretching either... you need to do it consistently for months.

 

[NakaNaka]

being able to touch your toes doesn't mean your not in good shape. I work out and play hockey so I'm in pretty good shape. I have long legs but not very long arms. I'm not the flexible. If you really want to do it, strech for like 15 mins a day every day for a while.

 

[Keego]

damn I can't lick my elbow either! What is wrong with me :Q

LOL.

 

[SWScorch]

I could never touch my toes either until I started running. Stretching twice every day really helps. If you keep stretching, you will eventually be able to touvh your toes, but why worry about it? Its not like its a necessary social skill or anything (unless you're into .... uhh, well, nevermind that)

 

[JayHu]

bah.. stretching is over rated, i havent really stretched for 13 years, and i still cant touch my toes

 

[Sepen]

Hahahaha, this is insane...remember Jerry Lewis lifting the weights?

 

[killface]

I can't see why being able to touch your toes. Like, you'll never need that in an emergency. Though, it may come in handy if you're ever in prison.

[freebee]

Well if you want, I can come over and touch your toes.....

 

[aphex]

i can, but i cant keep doin it, starts hurting.

 

[MajesticMoose]

its not hard, just bend your knees a bit.

m00se

 

[Koing]

I can reach about 5" past my toes:Q even though I have quite long legs. I'm just really flexible and about 8cm off from doing the full splits

Helps that I'm asian and I also did gymnastics when I was younger, and I also do a lot sports right now......

 

[Keego]

I'm 19, weigh 175 and have a 34 waist (36 inseam)

 

[Darein]

I never have been able to and I don't have the urge to try. Its not like it is something special. *shrug*

Damn, man, when I was your age I could put both palms flat. You need to go to the Doctor and find out what is wrong with you. This could be serious.
