DH says I'm the most inflexible woman he's ever met.
I can't even touch my toes without bending my knees a little.

I like to say i am somewhat flexible...of course the years of Yoga helped.

Somewhat. I can do fifth position & pretty much reach my toes & do a poor man's version of putting my foot behind my head. But other than that, noooooo way.

Not at all.....also can't touch my toes, and have never been able to, even when I was into hot yoga.
Turns out, it's related to my flat feet....I saw a foot doctor for ankle problems I was having and he said I had the tightest calf muscles he'd ever seen, as a result of my body having to compensate for my flat feet and have to be constantly flexed to stay balanced. Who knew?

I was a college cheerleader, so I used to be able to do the splits.. left, right, center. Now, eek! I haven't even tried and I'm scared to, but I think I'm probably still more flexible than the average person.

Not at all. The sit and reach always kept me from getting the presidential fitness award every year. I'm an embarrassment in yoga. I also have what may be the tightest hamstrings of anyone ever. I can't recall ever being able to touch my toes either.
@Anagram: Interesting. I have very flat feet, as well.

Yep. Not as much as I used to be, but I can still manage splits and a scorpion hold.

I'm pretty flexible b/c I'm a yogi:). Hot yoga is my love! I cannot wait to get back into it when I quit BFing!

@MsLipGloss: You know dat's right.
@PrincessBaby: I'm pretty flexible, but SO bad at yoga. I thought I might be good at it, but I'm too awkward and weird. I've tried so hard to like it so many times, but I end up laughing the whole time. I'm THAT girl.

@photojane: I think imma call you PJ. :P. I stink at yoga too. I'm pretty good at Pilates though. And I really like it!

@MsLipGloss: What's different about pilates? Is that the one with the machines? If so, I don't think my clumsy rear would mix well with all of those cords & mobile things.

@photojane: there's more movement and its more workout focused than zen focused. In Pilates you focus on tightening your tush and sculpting your buns, not balancing your chi or perfecting your warrior pose.
ETA: classes don't usually use reformers (the machines). Just usually a mat and a stability ball.
