Master 1993 Riverside, IL | Subject: RE: Can you touch your toes? Yup. I can actually touch the floor with my palms flat. I have great flexibility...but I also spend a great deal of time stretching everyday, too. |

| Pro 4608 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Can you touch your toes? I can put my palms flat on the floor, no knee bend and little effort. I stretch about 15-20 minutes every day. My bike fitter was shocked, she said she rarely sees flexibility in triathletes. |

| Elite 3972 Reno | Subject: RE: Can you touch your toes? I can put my hands backwards, knuckles and back of wrist down, flat, Under my feet, which tips my ankle angle even more.
Well, I could. until the knee issue a few weeks ago. now I am all messed up and it is a good day when I don't limp. |

| Master 2235 Pacific Northwest | Subject: RE: Can you touch your toes? What are these "toes" you speak of? I am not very bendy. Plus my chest blocks the view of my feet, so not really sure there are even toes there. |

| Extreme Veteran 3177 | Subject: RE: Can you touch your toes? I can easily and after a month of regular concentrated stretches I can get my palms flats on the floor without bending my back (all bending from the pelvis.) I have a friend though who, at least in college, had trouble touching his knees  |

| Master 1895 | Subject: RE: Can you touch your toes? When I was a youngster and into the Martial Arts... I could sit on the ground with my legs in a V, then lean ALL of the way forward, turn my head and touch my ear to the ground. I think I pulled a muscle typing that out just now. But I can still touch my toes! |

| Regular 157 Bay City, MI | Subject: RE: Can you touch your toes? I am not a limber person but have a great ability to stretch and rebound. so I can touch my toes without bending my knees 10 times in ten seconds but not hold the stretch for 10 seconds. now I can put my feet under me and lay back flat on the floor. |

| Veteran 262 Longview | Subject: RE: Can you touch your toes? Yes, but I just had to try at work just a minute ago to make sure, I can also touch my toes to my forehead, and I didn't hear anything break or dislocate when I did this! |
