hmm... i am trying to imagine that, and it is not pretty...ouch!

Lol! You do have to have your legs apart about 2 feet - otherwise it's pretty physically impossible! It was a stretch we used to do in ballet, though, and was very satisfying. We also used to have to do the splits up against a wall, which was bizarrely difficult when trying to balance!! I loved ballet passionately but my feet and body are a wreck now because of it...

I hear ya on that. I did all kinds of dance most of my life and my knees are paying the price now. Jump splits and high kicks through high school really messed me up!!

 

[neonsohc]

used to be able to before bad knees and back and beer came into play.

 

[lovemycodygirl]

yep ... but just the finger tips!

 

[graykittenlove]

I can but then I'm pretty flexible.

The real question for you is..... but can you walk a straight line without putting your hands on the floor or to your toes?

Can you touch your finger to your nose?

I'm sorry but Susie started it and I cannot help myself

 

[sadisticookie]

I can put my palms on the floor easily but I'm pretty short so it's nature's way of letting me cheat
