Default Who can do this?

Sit with legs in front of you, feet up against a wall. While keeping your legs straight, try to touch the wall with your palms. I did this flexibility test and to be honest, I had a hard time getting my finger tips to the wall. Hold for 2-3 seconds and try it a couple of times. I couldn't believe how tight my lower back and hamstrings are...I'm starting a stretching routine tonight!!! By the way, the chart indicated normal flexibility to be your fingertips touching the wall. How did you do?

I am able to do it with my fingertips but not my palms.

3-4 years ago I could do it. Since then I stopped practicing martial arts and stretching as much as I used to.

I think that if I kind of threw myself at the wall, I could touch it... lol. I'm no where near as flexible as I need to be.

I could do that back in high school/elementary school. I'm sure I could now, too.

Like Coz, I did it with my fingertips as that was the requirement. Not like I could've otherwise done it with my palms, though [img]/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] I'll leave that to the long-limbed fellers in the 6-foot-plus club!
