Thread: Question..

  1. #1

    Default Question..

    About exercise.

    2 years ago I was able to touch my toes stretching with ease. Now I struggle to touch them.

    I forgot what I did, but is there like a set of exercises I can do that enhances flexibility? I still haven't been able to do splits.

    The only thing I know that you can do is keep stretching. Keep trying to touch your toes and keep trying to do splits and hold it there When I was in ballet (for many years ! x.X) I was so flexible but I lost most of it, now.

    I have no idea. Unfortunately, I've never been able to touch my toes.

    Cut off your toes and keep them in a jar. Then you can touch them whenever you want without having to exercise. Problem solved.

    I was always able to touch my toes. When you get up do morning stretchs and don't sut in front of a computer screen as much~ ^o^

    I have never had much flexibility with my vertebra, although my arms and legs are quite flexible.

    I don't play any sports which require flexibility in my back, all the sports I play only require arm and leg flexibility, except the occasional climbing section while hiking.

    It doesn't seem intensely neccessary unless involved in an acrobatically straining sport.

    as with anything, its just regular practice. do stretches every day and in a few weeks time you should have regained flexibility, the body adapts quickly.

    Keep on stretching, that's the only way.

    Nod said it - a stretch routine every day that lists around 20 mins will have you more flexible in a few weeks.
