Even Bikram in that burning heat! :P</p> <p>As for strength and other athletic abilities? TOTAL FAIL. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-flexible#post-150303 Mon, 07 May 2012 09:59:57 +0000 mediagirl 150303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope and never have been. Even as a kid I couldn't touch my toes without bending my knees. No amount of stretching helped either. </p> <p>Side note - I thought you were supposed to get more flexible the further into pregnancy you got. That hasn't helped either. Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-flexible#post-150287 Mon, 07 May 2012 09:51:10 +0000 Red 150287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can touch my toes but I'm far from flexible. I used to be though..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-flexible#post-150283 Mon, 07 May 2012 09:49:06 +0000 MsLipGloss 150283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am still pretty flexible. Before getting pg, I had my middle splits (and in the process could pretty much push my chest flat to the floor with a flat back) and my left splits (right splits were still an inch or two off the ground). Even in 3 inch heels I can still press my palms flat against the floor with little effort. But, before I hit a growth spurt many, many moons ago, I was a gymnast, and have worked hard (through pilates and other dance classes) to maintain my flexibility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-flexible#post-150282 Mon, 07 May 2012 09:48:53 +0000 Minnie_Girl 150282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once I started working out regularly my flexibility improved a lot. It's still not great, but it's not sub-par like it used to be, haha! </p> <p>It's impossible to be flexible if your muscles are cold and unworked. Kind of unfair for your hubby to randomly test you like that, @chopsuey119! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-flexible#post-150275 Mon, 07 May 2012 09:45:38 +0000 hilsy85 150275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be super flexible but unfortunately have lost a lot of it :( I need to start doing yoga or something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-flexible#post-150274 Mon, 07 May 2012 09:45:12 +0000 Rubies 150274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just checked and I can touch my toes but I still don't count myself as flexible. If I'm sitting on the floor with my legs spread, I can touch left hand to left toes, right hand to right toes. But I can't touch both hands to a foot without bending my knee a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-flexible#post-150268 Mon, 07 May 2012 09:41:24 +0000 chopsuey 150268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg I'm so not flexible!!<br /> DH just made me stand and try to touch my toes (with my feet together).<br /> Total fail </p>
