Can you touch your toes?
I can still go past a toe-touch and put my palms flat on the ground and can also still lean backwards into a back bend and then stand right back up out of the back bend. And I can sit in the full lotus position comfortably. I consider these accomplishments since I'm 45, but I've always done lots of yoga and stretching and have always been flexible and limber. I want to still be able to do all three of these things when I'm 65!

Can you touch your toes?
yeah I can do the palm to ground thing too. Although I think I have an unfair advantage because all of my ligaments are too loose so I'm extra stretchy.

Can you touch your toes?
I can, and I can put my palms flat on the ground as well.
I can actually bring one of my legs up and hold it only like two inches from my face, like a high kick.
Are women born more flexible then men? I would think so, because most girls I know are extremely flexible, even without having done any formal type of exercise or stretching or yoga. I have research to do...

Can you touch your toes?
I have an extra bone in my spine, and although it doesn't make much of a difference, it prevents me from being generally flexible...
I can touch my toes, though
