How many out there can bend down, straight legged and touch your toes? I could yesterday, but I worked my glutes and legs so hard that today I can't do it.

I cannot touch my toes, even after years of ballet training. I can do the splits both ways, but I can't touch my toes. I'm a freak of nature.

I have always been able to, but some people are just more flexible than others.

I've always been able to, but I think my long monkey arms contribute a lot to that.

That is something that I have always been able to do, even with this extra weight I have on.

I too have always been able to. When I was younger I could almost put my hands flat on the floor. I seem to recall that was something we strived for in dance lessons as a kid and I just kept practicing. Like rainmaker, I think some people are just more flexible than others.
